Remember a few weeks ago Google started with anchor based Sitelinks for specific sites? Well, now it seems like Google is trying to put these types of links directly in the search engine snippet (i.e. the description in the search results, under the page title).

iCrossing first spotted this and @rishil gets credit for letting me know.

This is also mentioned in the ongoing WebmasterWorld thread on the topic of these anchor based Sitelinks.
