Answer 1

Search engine optimization (SEO) 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 for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS) or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of searches, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.

A search engine is a portal that uses algorithms to formulate matches based on keywords enter into the search bar such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. It is more complex than that but that is the basic definition as I see it.
