    When I tried this code I am getting an error like" The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable".What was the problem?

      Actually Google blocks automated requests after 60 to 70 successful requests. There are several things you could try, to avoid google bot detection, which blocks you:

      - Sleep in between the requests for at least a second.
      - Vary your user agent string (just a guess)
      - Vary your IP address (-> use proxy servers to route your requests)
