OK, at least there was a reason for it. I was really hoping that it
wasn't just sloppy administration practices that were responsible.
There is a dirty trick that you can play on the spiders, I did this
on a web page that I used to have. Make no links to leave the junk
address page, but at the bottom of the junk page you make a link that
reloads the junk page. That puts the spiders into an endless loop when
they index that page, since the only link takes them back to the same
page. Unless the spiders are a lot smarter than they were a few
years ago, that will keep them busy for a while. ;-)
