The websites that most appeal to the Search Engine will appear at the highest (i.e. at the beginning ) position on the listed websites for a particular topic search. This is what Search Engine Ranking is all about.

Search Engine Optimization has everything to do with the design, layout and content of your website. It influences which words and phrases are used, where on your pages they appear, and how often they appear. Relevancy of certain key words and phrases is something that the Search Engine decides about your site. This can be influenced by the proper use of titles, description tags, alt tags and certain HTML tags. Also, today's Search Engines are very smart, so your copy, the actual text your website contains, must be pretty good.
