I have 300 404 errors in webmaster tools.
I guess these are nonexistent URLs, but detected/ indexed by Google as if they exist. Is it so?
BTW, do they appear in your site map?
Thanks for the reply.
No, they do not appear in my site map. Both the pages that have a 404 and the pages that link to the 404 page do not appear in my sitemap.
I have no idea where they come from.

That means such URLs do not exist. They are actually created by Google’s own faulty script. You can ask Google to ignore them – go to your WMT account.
Review a similar thread here:

I am having the exact same issue! Did this solution work out for you? Please tell me what you did to fix this.
I still have not managed to fix them or understand what is causing them. Even if I fix then in Webmaster Tools (as Krishna suggested) they still appear in my error log. It seems like something is pointing to this URL but I have no idea what.
If you ever find a solution then please share (so will I).
Hi,
We’ve just had the same issue pop up in our google webmaster tools. I’ve crawled the site using xenu – link sleuth, and cannot see any reference to the the 404 error found by the google crawler.
eg /privacy-policy/function.include-once
I’ve done a fair bit of searching and can’t seem to find the cause of this.
My assumption is that a PHP file is causing an error somewhere which in turn places a link into the page. What I’m confused about is that it should be visible with the link sleuth software…? but the link sleuth is not picking anything.
We did have issues previously with a mysql max packet size but this was fixed.
We currently have 15 errors with this symptom.
Any help or direction here is greatly appreciated.
