Many include sponsor links before or to the right of the results. Many searchers will be satisfied with the first page or two, so getting a top 20 or 30 listing can have an impact on a website's success.
Online and downloadable tools exist to discover the ranking of a web page for a particular query. Yahoo! Search Marketing keyword suggestion tool and the Google Adwords tools offer suggestions for any keyword or key phrase it is given to search.
