A while ago I renamed a few directories in the archives, for
example from 9905 (May 1999) to 199905. It looks like a lot
of search engines had the old URLs indexed and didn't drop
them for the new ones, so many people were hitting an old URL
and instead of seeing it they'd be redirected to the archive
home page. This is better than getting an ugly 404 error, but
still not perfect. I got proper redirection working this
morning, so now anyone trying to get to an old URL will be
shunted to the new one.
The archives seem to be pretty popular. Late last year each
month in the archives was looked at about 200 times, and a
few months got more than 1000 looks.
