Two Industry giant has occupied the Google SE First Page.

I have seen just two websites on Google SE first page one with 4 and second one is with 6 internal pages on Coupon related question/niche . What it means Is this a Google Dance or temporary fluctuation. ? Why Google don't consider other sites to show on first page? Many pages from askvila.amazon, yahoo answers and facebook pages are shown on second and third pages.? Is this meant that there are a lack of quality websites/pages for this industry or query? What do you say?

Here is the SERPs from Google US.(as on July 09)

I believe this is a result of a cross breed between the Penguin and Panda updates. The Panda updates gave a lift to all authority sites and the Penguin update penalized all sites that were involved in shady SEO. The end result is a few trusted authority sites who are worthy of occupying the first few pages of search results. You can try posting on the Google Webmaster forum and see if you can illicit a response from someone at Google. I should note that Matt Cutts kept saying for years, that host crowding in the SERPS was terrible but just recently backtracked and said that it can be good for users at times. More importantly, try to figure out in which area you can become an authority and clean up all your back links.
