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..
