    SEO is search engine optimization. It is focused around using keywords within your content strategically to improve your results in search engines.

    This is what SERP is... it is either search engine results page (which I am sure you are talking about) or supplemental executive retirement plan... The focus is to work hard on building good seo on your site to get great SERP rankings. You want to be on Google's first page. Then you get lots of traffic!

    Search engine optimization is a very cost-effective way to get people who are looking for your products and services to your site. It is a great marketing, better than the outdated yellow pages. In the old days, the yellow pages was the search engines.

    If you wonder what search engines can do for you, just google relevant keywords in your industry and see how your competitors are doing it. It gives you a clue as to what you should do. The reality is that on the internet, if people can't find your business, they will find your competitors'.

    SEO is different from other forms of marketing. If you do a newspaper ad, you never know who is going see your ads or whether those who see your ads are in need of what you have to offer. At search engines, every visitors come to your site through Google or Yahoo find you because they are looking for you. Such traffic is gold and you have to grab it when you can.

    SEO is a process to increase volume of traffic on your website.Abbreviation of SERP is Search Engine Result Pages,when any one search for a keyword on search engine there will be SERP on your screen.A search engine results page, or SERP, is the listing of web pages returned by a search engine in response to a keyword query. The results normally include a list of web pages with titles, a link to the page, and a short description showing where the keywords have matched content within the page. A SERP may refer to a single page of links returned, or to the set of all links returned for a search query.

    NICE!! Thanks for the breakdown guys that brought so much clarity. No wonder I couldn't find my website even when I typed in my actual name but it listed one of the pages and was wondering why it didn't list my homepage on SERP :(.

    So I have to use my keywords strategically in order to see my homepage at the top of SERP, is this correct?

    LOL, I just clicked now that I was using my name instead of my website name. I get it now, so those keywords has to be on your website no matter what.

    I spotted one thing from that SERP. What does this SERP means Link1 compared to what I normally see like this SERP Link2?

    But if you notice on Link1, it has a couple of other links before my homepage link. When SERP link2 looks normal to me. Why is that?

    You can do SEO for your keyword by doing blog commenting, article submissions, etc and getting backlink's from high PR relevant sites.

    You must also have unique content, this will increase your SERP, good luck ;)

    seo is a long process and it involves steps taken to ensure getting a good rank in search engines....It involves following steps:
    1.Index inclusion and coverage.
    2. On-page and off-page optimization.
    3.Link-building (internal and external).
