I had in my apache Virtualhost settings a ServerAlias for erroneus subdomains in that domain, like this: "ServerAlias *.example.com"
It worked perfectly until I have found searching my keywords for "example.com" in Google this url: "%20subdomain.example.com" linked to "http://%20subdomain.example.com" in place of my domain.
If I search for example.com it didn't appears.
This url didn't match the true subdomain without "%20" and was showing the domain.com content (duplicate content).
If I try to delete this URL from Google the form refuses this url because with this "%20" or the space that it represent is reported how "Invalid URL".
I have removed the ServerAlias, but I can't imagine how Google has listed that erroneus URL.
I think the only thing I can do is to wait for a refresh in the index.
Sorry about my bad english.

The reason that URL is in the index is that someone has linked to a badly typed version of your URL.
Search in google for
site:%20
And you'll see 8000 examples of this.
As to why your real domain is not there, that's much more serious...
Search through the archives here :-)

how? I use webmin and on the BIND it says wildcard off but it still on. Any idea?
