Why does a link for a Win 10 app, doesn't lead to the Store?

why does a link for a win 10 app, doesn't leads to Store?

Yesterday When I found that 4Shared universal app is out, and clicked the link at the end of the article, it went to "Web Page is not available".
Same thing happened today with "everquotes" app.
And when I tried to find these apps in the app store, I couldn't.
Is it an issue or there is another way to open up these links ?

The search functionality in the store is currently not very good, unfortunately. It is something Microsoft is working on .

However, the issue with the links may be due to an ad-blocker or a hosts file on your computer not allowing you to access that link.

If you are using the hosts file method of ad blocking, it won't allow you to follow links to the store. Some ad blockers will also block the links.
