Crawling - is the process of fetching all the web pages linked to a web site. This task is performed by a software, called a crawler or a spider.
Indexing - is the process of creating index for all the fetched web pages and keeping them into a giant database from where it can later be retrieved. Essentially, the process of indexing is identifying the words and expressions that best describe the page and assigning the page to particular keywords.
Processing - When a search request comes, the search engine processes it . i.e. it compares the search string in the search request with the indexed pages in the database.
Calculating Relevancy - Since it is likely that more than one pages contains the search string, so the search engine starts calculating the relevancy of each of the pages in its index to the search string.
Retrieving Results - The last step in search engines' activities is retrieving the best matched results. Basically, it is nothing more than simply displaying them in the browser.

"Natural" Editorial LinksLinks that are given naturally by sites and pages that want to link to your content or company. These links require no specific action from the SEO, other than the creation of worthy material (great content) and the ability to create awareness about it.
Manual "Outreach" Link BuildingThe SEO creates these links by emailing bloggers for links, submitting sites to directories, or paying for listings of any kind. The SEO often creates a value proposition by explaining to the link target why creating the link is in their best interest. Examples include filling out forms for submissions to a website award program or convincing a professor that your resource is worthy of inclusion on the public syllabus.
Self-Created, Non-EditorialHundreds of thousands of websites offer any visitor the opportunity to create links through guest book signings, forum signatures, blog comments, or user profiles. These links offer the lowest value, but can, in aggregate, still have an impact for some sites. In general, search engines continue to devalue most of these types of links, and have been known to penalize sites that pursue these links aggressively. Today, these types of links are often considered spammy and should be pursued with caution.
to speed up the SEO process – machines are better and faster at collecting and processing information than we, people, so why not leave that for them? (Example: you can always use Yahoo! to explore your competitors’ links, then open each page and check its PR with Google toolbar and its backlinks with Yahoo – this analysis will take you the whole day to run; with a good backlink checker tool you’ll do that within a few minutes);
to analyze advantages and drawbacks of the analysis performed by the tool (what would I add? How I would organize the data? – that’s always easier to say if you judge from example);
to see what can be automated and how the machine works (for example, by analyzing how Spam Karma filters blog Spam, we were able to tell how Spam could beautomatically caught by search engines);
to get information in a more categorized and organized way (a good tool represents the data in a way that enables you to quickly see the most important aspects of the analysis);
to get inspiration and more ideas (a new tool usually offers a new way to look at the analysis I used to perform for years by providing some additional information or spotting new patterns).
