If you use the undermentioned url you can get Google to number the results of a search - and you get 100 results per page. However you must search for the "TITLE" of your websites, because no description is added to this "Google simple search". However, the "Title Attribute" displays the "Meta Description" once the cursor is held over the link. Another option is to make your Website into an "ACTIVE LINK" in the browser (usually purple).

If you want to search Google regularly for your websites' keyword rankings:
An effective trick to find a website's ranking in all search engines quickly and accurately!
In Google, Fast and in Yahoo you use "advanced search" and change the results to 100 per page. In AltaVista and in Msn (my preferences) change the results to 50 per page.
Put in your appropriate keyword - get the "search results"
Press the "Control F" Keyboard shortcut simultaneously in *Internet Explorer...
Put your URL in the "Find what" search box...
(Copy your url & press "Control V" (paste) after that)
Or- on I.E. 6 and above, press "Control G" (find again)
Press "Find Next"... other "enter" keyboard button ...
You will automatically scroll down to your hightlighted website's listing.
--> Keep pressing "Find Next" to find other pages from your Domain.
(This technique works even better in Netscape 6+ because the query is cached in the find box and the box stays up as you navigate to different pages.)
(The approximately percentage near the bottom 1-100%, represents the approximate RANKING of your site 1-100. You can then refine your search.)
(If you don't want to use "Control F" using "Edit "--> "FIND (on this page)" in the browser menu bar will do.
(If you anticipate going through many pages, copy & past (Control V) after "Control F") Or- "Edit"--> "FIND NEXT"
Put your URL in EXACTLY as it appears in the search engine.
Each page represents 100 web sites, so page 2 will start at 101-2, page 3 from 201-300 etc. Also the results will vary slightly depending on whether the "Compact" or "Expanded" Results view is on.

These free keyword generation websites are invaluable in finding the most popular keywords.

In the case of Overture they calculate results from: Yahoo, Iwon, Lycos, Msn, Altavista, Alltheweb etc.
Wordtracker calculates results from Dogpile and Metacrawler.
Google's adwords do not list the amount of hits the keywords get - however, they are listed in order of popularity, and now factors in AOL's searches.
Lycos offers a separate keyword calculator for the Lycos' search engine, free registration is required.
Yahoo Search offers their list of their most popular keywords for a given search term in the "Related:" --> "more" links - just below their search form after a completed search query is made.
Ocassionally websites are "dropped" though no fault of the Webmaster - during the "Google Dance" - this helps you keep abreast of any possiblities.
If there is an urgent need to communicate with the Google staff immediately:
googlebot@google.com
They also read their forum at:
google.public.support.general
Google, also allows the use of the daterange: as a method of including and excluding period of days when doing a query. DateRange is given in Julian Format - Dates are a continuous count of days since noon UTC on January 1, 4713 BC. until the present day. So adding: daterange:2452781-2452783 after a query - means including the days May 21st 2003 -to- May 23rd 2003 (and all days in between). This is useful when finding WHEN as well as WHICH sites for any query result.

Getting on Dmoz should be a priority, however due to some technical problems, Newly added Websites have been delayed in showing up on Dmoz Search - due to problems with their RDF dump.
This url allows the public to find out when the new sites have been added to Dmoz search http://dmoz.org/rdf/tags.html
