Google gives me more and more links containing alderaan.archlinux.org instead of bbs.archlinux.org .
It may be worthwhile to exclude this subdomain from indexing?

I guess we should configure the web server to serve a 404 on unconfigured hostnames.

Incorrect links already posted on the forum (perhaps not only on it). Maybe it would be better to redirect for alderaan.archlinux.org and raise 404 for other hostnames?

301 redirects would possibly be a fix as well -- googlebot would only index the content at the URL that the link redirects to (as opposed to to a 302 where the inverse happens).
Comment by Dan McGee (toofishes) - Friday, 25 January 2013, 21:05 GMT
Established permanent 301 redirects from alderaan.archlinux.org -> bbs.archlinux.org so existing links work and also so search indexers can correctly map URLs we didn't want out there to the correct ones.
