If the links are wrong and don't exist anymore you can erase them in Google Webmaster Tools:
Google index
Remove web adresses

I have removed 7000 wrong links after an upgrade.

As I told you you can remove those error links from Google, so Google does not search for them anymore. They are removed from search results that way as I described. However, if the wrong link is posted on another site, then you have to make a redirect, which is available as a component in Joomla 2.5.

@Slackervaara OK thanks! One more thing to confirm! Is google webmaster best tool to find these errors? Does google webmaster miss any erros?
Also If i found a broken link and wanted to fix it then how i can fix it in joomla? I know i have to redirect it Correct URL.
But How i will find the correct URL of a Broke URL?
Sorry again as I am asking more question.
For example Google Found this as Broken - http://www.going-natural.com/the-pursui ... rence.html

and yes it shows a 404 Not Found when opening it. Now If i want to fix it how i can find the correct URL in joomla to redirect?
