With any website there are certain words and phrases that are relevant to its content, and these are the words and phrases that determine how high your website will be in search engine rankings.

SEO or search engine optimisation is the process of tweaking parts of your website, such as the HTML and Metatags, in order to make them more responsive to web searchers, and therefore improve its ranking.
There are some real household names these days, when it comes to search engines, which defines how big they are. Google is probably the most popular. The way that these companies work, or are reputable is the way that they use complicated algorithms, in order to deter spammers. A typical engine will use hundreds or even thousands of algorithm factors, in the process of ranking their listings. Each algorithm factor will also vary, and they are ever changing. The variance in these algorithms means that there is also a variance in where a website will rank in certain search engine rankings.
The process of a website being on a search engine ranking is not simply them being submitted to the search engine company and then being indexed. A website can have a back link on an existing, big, popular website. What happens then, is the search engines will proceed to visit the new website, and then index its content. This process is really varied in the amount of time that it can take, so it may be days, but it can also be months.
