I get this msg in my google webmaster tools area regarding my sitemap:
Web crawl errors  
HTTP errors  0  --  
Not found  11788  Details »  
URLs not followed  9  Details »  
URLs restricted by robots.txt  0  --  
URLs timed out  0  --  
Unreachable URLs  13  Details »  
Total:  11810  
When I go into the (Not found) page it lists all links that where not found. I click on one of the links at random, When I click the link the link is dead.

Why the aitemap crawling old pages deleted from my site? Can this be the prob??
