    I saw that people use these 2 meanings for the SERP acronym:

    SERP=Search Engine Results Page
    SERP=Search Engine Results Position

    Which one is the right definition, and why?

    They're both terms generally indicative of the same thing... Beyond that, you're just playing with semantics.

    SERP = Page
    Ranking = Position

    Here's what I've heard: SERP = "Search Engine Ranking and Placement" or "Search Engine Results Placement".
