On the one hand, SEO consists in all the techniques and methods used to make a web site adequate and interesting to be displayed by search engines. Otherwise, SEO refers to an extremely large range of tactics, strategies, tools and softwares that one can lose track of in the maze. On the other hand, page ranking represents the estimation of the page importance or value, performed by the search engine on the basis of the optimization we’ve mentioned above.

The web site receives the SEO ranking by the appreciation or the analysis of the keywords and relevant links operated by the search engine. However, the SEO ranking is normally considered a rather poor indicator of the page performance, since its rates depend on a large sum of factors. Before you can get a relevance index, you’ll have to go through all the stages of key-phrase choice and keyword search performed by a web surfer. The search engine analyzes content and thus it categorizes the web page to a certain domain, and afterwards relies on this item of information to see how accurate your page is for a certain keyword search.

SEO ranking or the page rank normally represents a Google more of expressing the quality and the credibility of a certain page. The ranking is reported in numbers from 0 to 10, and the above mentioned relevance becomes the only factor that separates two competitors with the same SEO ranking. The page with the most relevant content for the keyword typed in the search engine will be displayed first on the search engine result page. Therefore, when web masters optimize a site for SEO ranking, they will also consider the aspect of content quality too.

Even if lots of hypotheses have been formulated about the way Google analyzes SEO ranking, there is one unanimous opinion about the importance of the links. Thus, the more the links, the higher the SEO ranking. The value of the rank is also given by very credible sites that link to your page; thus, you’ll get more points with quality credible web pages displaying your link than with less serious ones. If you have a link on a site ranked 10, it will value more than a link from a page ranked 4.
