SEO (search engine optimisation) is a strategy designed to raise a site up the search results rankings. So when a customer searches Google, for example, for your product or service, good SEO will have ensured that your site appears high up in the results ready for a potential client to find.
On any search engine results page, there are actually two lists: the "organic" main list which reflects how the search engine analyses your site; and a "sponsored" list where sites have paid to have their sites listed. Costs of the sponsored links depend on the particular trigger keywords and the number of visitors they bring to your site (pay per click PPC). But the organic search results can not be bought and are achieved by good optimisation of a site through natural search engine optimisation (SEO).
Google, Yahoo and other major search engines will not reveal the precise formulae they use to analyse a site. The aim of a search engine is to build the most accurate picture of site in terms of its content and how significant is that content. It does this by creating a number of algorithms to rank a site that include sifting through the words on the page to analyse the meaning, and looks at who else is linking to that site to gauge its importance.
If an important informational site such as the BBC (bbc.co.uk) were to link to a story on your site, then everyone would agree that your site must have something important to say about that subject.
Search engines work on the same basis, they rank the relevance of your site along with the quality of inward (or backlinks) to try to assess the worth of a site.
