    I've said it before, I'll say it again.

    Are you for real? Are you human? Do you live on Earth?

    Google can't crawl what's not there. Period.

    If there are things there that you don't want, get rid of them.

    You can use Google's Disavow tool to remove unwanted backlinks. You just need to put all unwanted links or domains in a Txt file and upload along with your request to remove these backlinks.

    First because it creates a bad experience for your visitors, as it’s pretty frustrating to click on a link expecting to find something there and get a 404 error.

    Second, Google knows broken links are a bad experience for users, so it doesn’t like websites that contain too many broken links (i.e., it might reduce the search rankings of a page or website that has too many).

    Now that you are convinced, here’s how to remove broken links from your website. Visit BrokenLinkCheck.com, put the URL of your website, and click on “Find broken links”. Depending on the size of your site you might need to wait some minutes.

    If you want a more hardcore tool check out Xenu Link Sleuth (you’ll need to download and install this one though, so the above one is much easier to use).

    Once the results are displayed go through each URL and remove the dead link. I suggest that whenever you delete a link you keep the anchor text there and add a “(Update: link no longer active)” message aside to it to let users know what happened there.

    Repeat this process once a year or so to make sure your website will stay clean of broken links. Your visitors will thank you, and Google will reward you.

    Are you people for real?!?!?!!? Um....no.

    Has nothing to do with disavow or any other such nonsense.

    Gogole CANNOT crawl what is not there. Period.

    If you think google has pages in its index that you do not
    want....DELETE THEM!

    Makes no difference either way.

    Nonexistent crapola is a nonissue in this case.

    As Paul said this has nothing to do with disavowing anything.

    If you're returning proper 404 HTTP codes Google will eventually remove those links from their search. Of course you should not link to those pages yourself.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    Interesting thread..
    I read the all comments and really i knew one thing that we can remove dead links via disavow tool, i saw a video of matt cutts, in the video he explained about this technique, but here i found new things like it will remove from cache automatically and google cannot crawl those link.

    so please tell me if google doesn't crawl this link why webmaster tools shows those link.
