    Hi, I have a website which has few backlinks to some pages which do not exist anymore but google webmaster shoes them under page not found error. How can I get rid of them or is it ok to keep them as it is ? thanks in advance. Thanks!

    Use 301 permanent re-directs to redirect to pages that are there.

    Yes using the 301 redirect will preserve your backlinks while redirecting the search engines to your new pages
