Hello, i want to know a few things
1. is my website www.gchydro.com indexed by google?
2. how do you tell?
3. how can i tell my rating for a particular keyword?

Hi greencoast-ga,

To answer your questions:

1. Yes, your website is indexed by Google

2. I checked that this was true by going to Google and entering the
following search:

site:www.gchydro.com hydroponic

The following results were displayed:
://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=site%3Awww.gchydro.com+hydroponics&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

The search above will narrow results to pages under the
www.gchydro.com domain that contain the keywords provided. In this
case I had visited your site and just chose "hydroponic" arbitrarily.

3. Ratings are not actually maintained for every keyword, and in fact
the order of search results are determined by the PageRank algorithm.
You can read more about this at:

Hope that helps :)

In the article about Pagerank that I included with the original
answer, you can get your Pagerank rating (as a logarithmic value
between 0 and 10) by getting the Google toolbar, which estimates this
value.

For future reference, if you have a clarification request it would be
appreciated if you wait until getting a response before rating the
answer :)

Ian Roger's article, referenced by Answerguru, explains that the
Google Toolbar gives an approximation of PageRank. To calculate exact
PateRank, scroll to Links, near the bottom of the article, and use
Phil Craven's PageRank Calculator. I've noticed that the Calculator
site/link is sometimes difficult to reach. Luckily, Google has a
cached copy at:
