Weird return in the serps!

sim64 · 06-04-2007, 01:58 PM

I was checking on an old site that I used to use a lot and
got this weird result,
http://www.google.com/search?q=sim64&hl=en&start=10
Anyone know what it means?

What's the site anyway?

Be more specific, what is your problem?

Don't know if you are seeing the same as me from where you are,
just in case your not, here is a screenshot.

You should see the Sim64 site at the top.
look at what google is saying is the URL, it is displaying an email address
rather than the correct URL.

You're right. This is weird.
The cursor doesn't change when is over the title and when I click on it it's not opening...

I've never seen something like that before.

I've done a bit of looking and found someone else with the same problem.
try searching for this
"Endura concrete provides concrete resurfacing services in Toronto"
(note: link works in FF but not in IE.)

It all happens because of lack of competitors, so even 1 link can be great benefit for such "stuff" purposes. http://green.carisenda.com/legend/000941.shtml points to that "domain".

Yes, I had seen that, but it is just one link set up wrong (and is also
a nofollow link) why would 1 nofollowed link cause an email address to
appear in the serps in place of a URL?

One could ask why, but Google follows "nofollow" links. This is fact. I am not sure if nofollow links send PageRank, but I am sure they're followed by Googlebot.
