Something Weird is Happening at Google

This YouMoz entry was submitted by one of our community members. The author’s views are entirely their own (excluding an unlikely case of hypnosis) and may not reflect the views of Moz.

I was happily searching Google the other day, something I do quite often. Then I noticed one result that stuck out:

Weird Search Result 

A page on Aboutus.org was listed twice. But the second time it had a bunch of gibberish before the URL. It appears to me there was a <br> tag in there somewhere. But how did it get there, I wonder? Is it possible a link to the site contained such a tag? Is it possible to insert other characters in the results?

In the end, the link is not clickable. But I ask YOUmozzers if you've got any information on this.  You can find the full screen shot here.
