I think getting more keys once a day could be usefull.

Google:
Simulating a normal User - Could be something like sharing out the request over the day. Would be the best soulution, but is complicated.

Yahoo:
Could use the Yahoo API to get the results. http://api.search.yahoo.com/webservices/register_application
Also the Maximum is 1000 request a day.

Get daily new results is a little paranoid. Mostly one time a week is neccessary. Would be more usefull to have a configuration by keyword (get daily or weekly).

As suggested in home page, you can hack by hand this module and get more keys, but on daily basis , you risk then to be banned from search engines, a better solution I think could be to multiply keywords for 7 and check them on weekly basis, I think this could be a very nice option, and another is multiply for 30 and checkdata on monthly basis.
5 keywords on the first 100 pages can be 500 requests is the rank is bottom or null so maybe till 10 for yahoo coul be ok, but what about the other engines?

Adding frequency of checking is a nice and reasonable. (weekly - every sunday?, monthly - every 1st day of the month) and adding more keywords fields too. I will think about it for the next release.

Original code was using Yahoo API and Bing API, but I stopped using them due to the grey area of using APIs with the API key I got for SEO watcher.
