I saved this piece of code by Matthew Inman some while ago but ever since than I always levead it for tomorrow and tomorrow and ... It does a pretty and simple job to help you on your SEO by searching for a given url along with a search term (yeah your keyword). When found it outputs the result telling you exactly where your page is located (only the first 100 results are considered) based on that keyword. There's too much talking already for this simple code..here it is: PHP

if (isset($_GET['url']) && isset($_GET['keyword'])) {

   $gg_url = 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=' . urlencode($_GET['keyword']) . '&start=';

   $url = preg_replace('(^http://|/$)','',$_GET['url']);

   for ($page = 0; $page < 9; $page++) {

     $handle = fopen($gg_url . $page  . 0 ,'r');

     $scraped = '';

      if ($handle) {
        while (!feof($handle)) {
            $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
            $scraped .= $buffer;
        }
        fclose($handle);
      }

      $results = array();
      preg_match_all('/a href="([^"]+)" class=l.+?>.+?<\/a>/',$scraped,$results);

      foreach ($results[1] as $serp) {
        $serp = preg_replace('(^http://|/$)','',$serp);
        if ($serp == $url) {
          header('Location: ' . $gg_url. $page . '0');
          exit;
        }

      }

   }
   $error_message = 'Not in top 100 search results';
