In case you missed it, in the original post, I included a link to a JSBin containing many of the subdomains: http://jsbin.com/upamof/edit#html,live http://jsbi

Those are not accidental. No one types "www.jigsaw". That's intentionally affiliating the URL with the word "jigsaw" that comes from the W3's validator. Look at the other subdomains. Those can't be accidents. It's not a wildcard thing at all.

The question is where the linkbacks are coming from. It is possible w3schools is creating those themselves, in which case that does seem like unethical SEO tricks. But if not, well, they can't be responsible for how people link to them.
- ImpressiveWebs 15y agoOh, I know that wildcard subdomains are valid, but it's simply not possible for people to type these subdomains (http://jsbin.com/upamof/edit#html,live http://jsbin.com/upamof/edit#html,live) by accident. My opinion is that they're trying to use technically-allowable but questionable methods to bypass the fact that people are 'blocking' them from search results.
