You probably get this result because google has figured out it's a better search-result for you.... because you've already gone to those pages before.

Not sure how many people outside of the web world realise this, but google does personalise search results based on your own personal search-habits.

People who have not yet been to any of these pages are much less likely to get the same set of search results as this.

Edit: lukeprog's response (about two below here) below is how to see google for what it actually is like for a newbie.
