    I know the Acronym of SEO is Search Engine Optimization, but what exactly does this mean when you optimize your site? Is it when you change your theme, write more content and market more? Or all of the above?

    Wrong the acronym of SEO is Search Engine Optimization. SEM is the acronym of Search Engine Marketing.

    Seo is apart of sem. The meaning with seo is to get more visitors from the search engines like Google and Yahoo!

    This is done by on-page and off-page tweaks to optimize the site.

    On-page optimization results in letting Google understand better what the topic of your site is.

    And off-page optimization is primary getting links to your website because the search engines will see hyperinks as a vote from the one site to the other site, which result ina higher rank in the search engine result pages (serps) and so more traffic.
    While normal links gives your website votes, a link with the rel "nofollow" will not give your website a vote.

    The Pagerank of the Google toolbar is a snapshot of your rank. But the pagerank on the toolbar is different than the rank your pages have in the serps

    SEO or search engine optimization is the process of optimizing your website so that you are getting the best traffic possible for your site by targeting the right keywords.

    It also refers to getting the highest PR or Google page rank by using yourkeywords in specific places so that the search engine spiders can properly index your site.

    In a nutshell SEO is just moving things around to get the best ratings for your site.

To make this possible SEO consist of various off page techniques which can bring your site to the top position:)

    SEO means more traffic to your site, more traffic means more possible sales to your site.

    That makes SEO so important..

    Sorry for commenting so late about this question.
    The Pagerank of the Google toolbar is a snapshot of your rank.
    To illustrate how it works here you have a story which makes it totally clear:
    When the Americans vote for their president, the journalists will tell in the mean while how many people already have voted on which candidate. But they tell it for example just ones in the XX minutes. So at the moment they tell that 3454563 have voted on candidate B, it is not up to date any more. This is the same with Google, The "real" pagerank is changing frequently, but Google makes the pagerank only public ones in a while. And when they tell, it is already out of date.

    But the pagerank on the toolbar is different than the rank your pages have in the serps
    So what you must do is looking at the links which are going to which pages. If page F has 46 good quality inbound links, it has a higher pagerank than page K with 26 good quality inbound links of the total 562 links to the whole website. Often your homepage has the most links plus that the links of other pages will help increasing the overall pagerank of your website. So that means that deeper pages will probably not get a higher (toolbar) pagerank than your homepage has.

    Besides the links, also the theme and the words on your webpage will tell Google how relevant you webpage is for which search queries.

    If you have a Pagerank 0 site with a strong theme about the teletubies and good content and some good links, you will score higher than a pagerank 4 site with a totally different theme but covers the teletubies just on 1 page.
