Once you load the Google results, presumably by some Nokogiri call like:
Nokogiri::HTML(open...) the html will be stored to some (XML?) source,
let's call it google_results_doc.
Then you need to use Nokogiri css methods to locate your AdWord html.
First you need to take a look at Source Code underlying the google
results. Seems to me that all AdWords are stored in a beginning div:
<div id="tads" class="_Ak c" ..>
Followed by a ordered list of the ads:
<ol>
<li class="ads-ad" ...>
seems to me that you could just write:
my_ad_count = google_results_doc.css(".ads-ad").length
or
my_ad_count = google_results_doc.css(".ads-ad").size
to get your count. I write this assuming that Google is consistent in
always using class name "ads-ad". You may need to code to find it first,
if not perhaps search for the yellow Ad icon.
Not sure which
Check out:
http://www.rubydoc.info/github/sparklemotion/nokogiri/Nokogiri/XML/DocumentFragment#css-instance_method
for a listing of navigation/selector methods.
There is a tool called SelectorGadget that can help you identity selectors
on html
Hope this helps..
