I get and can acknowledge on a general search like the one the one I did there might be user centric reason for showing 5 links to 5 URL’s. Really though do we need a whole second listing for the same domain right beneath it, who does it help? I suspect the first programming may not be communicating with the second part as I seen this rather frequently over the past week or so. C’mon Google what’s up with that and where the diversity in SERP’s? This is just more evidence of your over reliance on authority.

Ahhh, young SEO, the answer, as ever lies in the linkage data, and the stars (if you catch my drift)

That might be just part of the algorithm, in the past and still today sites that rank well for a “phrase” always get 1st and 2nd place, but yeah, that looks a little greedy.

The phrase “pgatour” (one word) also does not have the huge competition as “pga tour” which is not showing those funny multiple links simply because it is not in the domain?

Think you can rank for the lower competition phrase? Try a few bolds you circus geek!
