What is ranking?

[Propertyseo2020]

A ranked-choice voting system (RCV) is an electoral system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots. If a candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, he or she is declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated.

A search engine ranking refers to the spot a URL takes on the results page of a search engine. A wide variety of factors determine a website’s ranking. These factors can be influenced by search engine optimization as well as by the purchase of ads. Links are listed from most relevant to least relevant, with the most relevant results being listed at the top of the first search results page.

Keyword rankings refer to your web page's position within search results for a particular keyword search query. One web page can rank for several relevant search keywords and phrases. Search results vary based on what Google has deemed relevant for that particular search keyword or phrase.

A ranking is a relationship between a set of items such that, for any two items, the first is either "ranked higher than", "ranked lower than" or "ranked equal to" the second.[1] In mathematics, this is known as a weak order or total preorder of objects. It is not necessarily a total order of objects because two different objects can have the same ranking. The rankings themselves are totally ordered. For example, materials are totally preordered by hardness, while degrees of hardness are totally ordered. If two items are the same in rank it is considered a tie.
