How to display SERP competition on page?

dsc76 · 11-09-2009, 08:16 AM

I want to display the amount of competing pages for a particular keyword phrase in Google search results.

For example the page might read

“The keyword “example” has about 588,000,000 competing pages”

Where the number 588,000,000 is dynamic since I have to this for many keywords.

Is there a way to scrape the “Results 1 - 10 of about 588,000,000” off Google? API? Another source that shows similar data? My site runs PHP btw.

All feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!
-Eric

Hey Eric-

Yes, you can get this from the Google API. Have a look in the Google AJAX Search API documentation. You'll want to use "estimated result count".
