I have a selection of crawl errors in my Google Webmaster tools for links that no longer exist on my site. These are a result of an old hack, where a pharmacy hack linked to PDFs. These have all been removed months ago, but external sites are still linking to these pages, which are then causing crawl errors.
Is there a way to alert Google that these links are fake/spam?
There is a special page where google allows reporting of various spam pages, you should check this:

Google has Adsense and Admob
Adsense is thought for websites that have a lot of text and content (eg. blogs)
Admob is for mobile apps
But what about web apps?
I have made several free-to-use web apps that are used daily because they help people do things (eg. convert something from one format to another) but they have no paragraphs and little text. Sometimes they are just a form input asking for a file and then the web app returns an output file.
How can I put adsense in these web apps?
I tried to apply for the Adsense program with my homepage but it got rejected. My homepage has a link to each of these web apps and a little description (eg. "A web app for converting XML to PDF", etc)
The rejection email says:
We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.
Issues:
Insufficient content:
To be approved for AdSense and show
relevant ads on your site, your pages need to have enough text on them
for our specialists to review and for our crawler to be able to
determine what your pages are about.
So... as I see it: To be able to use adsense I will need to create a .com or .net (ie: a first level domain, as needed by Adsense) and fill it with "enough text" and "content".
But what content though? Should I invent content? should I write about my cat?
Writing is not my business. I do web apps.
Google thought on writers and provided Adsense for them.
Google also thought on mobile developers and provided Admob for them.
How should I proceed?
As you commented adsense requires you to publish "enough" content, this is quite subjective because it doesn't say how much is enough for them. I would recommend you to try carbon, I have used it to monetize my webapps and I have not had any problems.
How do I submit a sitemap to Google Search console as a request? I think I'm missing the part where I include my credentials, but it's not clear how to include this in the URL.
Everything is set up in search console and I can submit my sitemap manually.
Following the documentation (https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/search-console-api-original/v3/sitemaps/submit) I write this in a browser:
https://www.googleapis.com/webmasters/v3/sites/<mysiteurl>/sitemaps/<mysitemapurl>
It says "Not Found". < mysitemapurl > by itself does get the sitemap.
If I use the try-it option in the documentation then it says "User does not have sufficient permission for site".
I went through the credentials wizard and was told that I have sufficient credentials. I have a #developer.gserviceaccount.com email address and two Key IDs. But where do I include them in the URL?

Let me know if I can be of more help to you.
I post links on my site's FB page (1 or 2 per day). All links points back to my web site.
Often, especially on mobile and tablets, this warning pops up when people are clicking those links on my page:
Something Went Wrong
Sorry, there was a problem with this link: http://www.delbart.no/sam-den-bekymrede-katten/.
You can now continue to this website, or go back to the page you were on before. Remember, only follow links from sources you trust.
The link above is just one of many ...
I've tested many of the links in debugger without finding any issues.
Do you know why Facebook are showing those warning messages?
What can I do to avoid them?
All the best :)
Do currently any popular websites support previewing links with hashbangs?
E.g. pasting link like
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pigfi/cF6GzPfeuO8
To a Facebook chat message.
(Translates to https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=topic/pigfi/cF6GzPfeuO8 )
There exists a spec for crawling hashbang URLs https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/getting-started
However, I found little information which websites or popular services currently support crawling / previewing these kind of hash bang URLs (besides GoogleBot?)
