As your SEO mentor, my first real job is to explain what search engine optimization or 'SEO' is. I have asked many search engine optimization specialists and read many general articles in order to try and do so. I guess that a good and real simple definition will be "A way of making your website more 'readable' and 'trusted' with the search engines". Do you want a more intuitive example? Search engines are just like librarians in charge of an enormous amount of books. Now imagine that the books are actually web pages. The search engines job is to arrange these pages in a way that seems right taking into consideration relevance and the ability to display the proper findings in an easy and organized way. while searching for a particular word or phrase which we call a keyword, these so called 'librarians', give you recommendation on pages that are more relevant than others. They act upon a 'algorithm' by which they decide hot to rank your pages for the searched keyword. Your page relevance will be reflected by it's place on the search engine result pages(SERPs).
