Hi
I have a domain name that I plan on using, but so far has been dormant with just a crappy index.html for several months now.
Surprisingly, the search engines know it exists. But you can't find it until you search for the sitename + ".com"
But more surprisingly, there's a second entry, which is my site url with ?D=A appended to it, like this mysite.com/?D=A
Clickingn on that url with ?D=A just takes me to the index.html.
But what the hell is that? I don't have any scripting or anything on this site except index.html. Anybody know what that is? Thanks!

The ?D=A is a softing option from the way apache idexes directories without an "index.html" (or similar file). It puts heading across the top of the listing (Name, Last modified, Size, Description), and clicking on these resort the list by that column, and clicking the colum name again changes order. In your example, ?D=A is Description sorted Ascending.
Give it time, it will get reindexed by the search engine and update maybe.
