Rank

How well a particular webpage or website is listed in a search engine's results. For example, a webpage about pears may be listed in response to a query for "pears." However, "rank" indicates exactly where it was listed-be it on the first page of results, the second page or perhaps the 200th page. Alternatively, it might also be said to be ranked first among all results, or 12th, or 111th. Overall, saying a page is "listed" only means that it can be found within a search engine in response to a query, not that it necessarily ranks well for that query. Also called position.
