The best place to be is #1. Period. It gets the most traffic by far. To think being lower is better is ridiculous.

Hmm..very interesting.
Maybe it has to do with indecisiveness?
Or they like mom and pops as opposed to the big one.

In pay per click I can see reasons due to cost. A first position may only have marginally higher or the same CTR than other positions in the top 5 but cost per click will be more.

For organic ranking there is nothing wrong in aiming for the top rank for your keywords. In practice top 5 rank should perform equally well. I cannot see any reason why a no1 spot will be worse off than any other position.
