Google results for me are Really JACKED UP right now...
I mean... I'm getting 3 sometimes 4 results from the Same Domain in the SERPs. Honestly I'm getting pissed. I don't want a full page of just 3 different domains from google (and I am logged out of google when doing this ).
At first I thought it would pass... but its been going on for like 2 weeks or more?
Anyone else seeing this?

You're seeing an algorithmic change that Google announced last year (I think that was in August but I don't have time to check).

Ya I remember that... I think it was to be implemented in Jan... but here we are in April dealing with what I consider Crap results.
Seriously... 3-4 Listings on the 1st page for 1 domain?

Well, if it's YOUR domain, that's a good thing, right?
I have to admit to liking this functionality because, frankly, it happens a lot for my personal sites. I'm not saying I think it was the right or best thing Google could do -- but it's hard for me to complain about it right now.

Unless the pages in question are from your competitors.

I think this is a blunder for Google.
If your getting a good ride from this.... try searching for something you really need to search for. I'm landing on sites... bouncing off them .. only to click again and hit the same crap site again. On the second bounce I then scan down for the next domain. By that time I have usually gone past 1/3rd to 1/2 of the page depending on if local results get pushed in my face.
I rarely have to go to page 2 because I set my Google to 30 results. but for the majority... this means having to go to page 2 more often.

You may have inadvertently made the problem worse for yourself by setting your search preferences to show 30 results per page. Even with this improvement that makes it more likely for Google to show multiple listings from one site, they still normally cluster multiple listings for many sites in their default page preferences. That clustering is disabled when you change your listings-per-page preference.

I find it great for research. seeing 4 pages really helps get a better handle on the way google is working the algorithm on a site. Just my 2c any how
