Easy way to find out SERP ranking?

does that make sense?

Hello everyone, I know that might sound weird to you, because it really sounds weird to me! I would like to know of an easy way to find out my ranking on a particular keyword instead of having to keep pressing the next button on google. Is there an easy way?
Thanks!

Macrost, are you trying to find out where your site is in the google index for specific keywords you are using? Just want to make sure I understand correctly. Thanks!

Coconubuck,
Yes you are correct. Is there a tool or something out there besides, clicking next who knows how many times? ;)

I keep my options set for 100 results per page, and then search for my domain name with "find on page". When each click gives you another 100 returns, then I'd better be able to find my site quickly or else I have a lot of work to do.

Ahh good idea tedster! I will have to try that one out. Now to figure out optimizing....(not really sure what that means in the search engine world as I'm just a programmer)
