Matt Cutts reveals on his Blog, how webmasters can easily get backlinks to their site that they may have not even known existed. The trick is not even a secret. It’s wide open for all to see in Google WebMaster tools. Right from within Google’s dashboard, there is a field for web crawl errors.

If there is anyone linking to any of your 404 pages, you can easily drill down in to the data and find the URL of the site that offered you a link. This is too easy. From there, all you have to do is contact the owner of the site, and ask them if they mind linking to your “new” page. Just don’t forget to thank them for linking in the first place.
