I was just checking on some results on one of our clients websites on google and came across this while browsing with mozilla:

[URL SNIPPED]

Is this a bug with google or is this a clever exploit from the webmaster e.g more advertising space. Note the only reason why the text dosnt go futher is the space in "ksa and member" I noticed it just carries on until the adwords finished.

Also Notice the "..."

Also in "Explorer" they gain an extra line.

Thanks

Steve

I think it's because it looks like it's one big word, and therefore Google doesn't snip it.

I noticed that but google should do something about this potential exploit. I bet they get a lot more hits because of this !

Im thinking of mimicking ....... errrr maybe not lol

what the heck? This thread is totally useless with the URL deleted..

The adwords thread sheds a little light... not much though.
