When searching with google, if a site url shows up in the search results list, and immediately underneath (but indented over) is a link to another page within the same site as the link above? How do we increase the number of these in the search results?

JavaReb, most of us just refer to these as indented listings. The SE's handle this in different ways. When G or MSN have two listings from the same site that rank on a given page of the SERP's, those listings are placed next to each other, with the second one indented. Over at Y!, they show you both listings, but they do not place them next to each other; they let them fall where they may. The SE's prefer to show no more than two listings from a site in any given page of the basic SERP's, so that other sites may be displayed for users to consider.
The way you get more indented listings is to have more than one page that could rank well for a given search. This can be achieved through optimzation, or by sheer power/importance of a site in a categoriy.
