Google PageRank™ - Explained
PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an
individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B.
But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts
the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."

Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course,
important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines Google PR with sophisticated
text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number
of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it)
to determine if it's a good match for your query.

About the Alexa Traffic Rankings
Alexa computes traffic rankings by analyzing the Web usage of millions of Alexa Toolbar users. The information is sorted,
sifted, anonymized, counted, and computed, until, finally, we get the traffic rankings shown in the Alexa service.
The process is relatively complex.

Search engine optimization ( SEO )
Search engine optimization (SEO), a subset of search engine marketing, is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. SEO can also target specialized searches such as image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.
SEO is marketing by understanding how search algorithms work and what human visitors might search for, to help match those visitors with sites offering what they are interested in finding. Some SEO efforts may involve optimizing a site's coding, presentation, and structure, without making very noticeable changes to human visitors, such as incorporating a clear hierarchical structure to a site, and avoiding or fixing problems that might keep search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Other, more noticeable efforts, involve including unique content on pages that can be easily indexed and extracted from those pages by search engines while also appealing to human visitors.
