So if you want your website on top of Google search results then you have to optimize your website according to these algorithms.
Search engines have almost every information and people depend on the search engines everyday to find what they need. So search engines need to take a lot of information and spit up the best answer for every search made by people which is not an easy job. So how do they do that?

1. Words Matter - Search engines account for every word on the web. This way when some one searches for something for example smartphone the search engine can narrow the results to only the pages that are about smartphones.

2. Titles Matter - Each page on the web has an official title but you may note ever see it because it is in the code.
<title> this is official </title>
Search engines pay a lot of attention to page titles.

3. Links matter - Links between websites matter. When one webpage links to another its usually a recommendation telling readers this site has good information. A webpage with a lot of links coming to it can look good to search engines but some people try to fool the search engine by creating or buying bogus links all over the web that point to their own website. Usually search engines can detect when a site has a lot of them and the account for it by giving links from trustworthy sites.

4. Words in links - The words that are used in links matter. If your webpage says Amazon has a lot of books and the word 'books' is linked, search engine can establish that amazon.com is related to the word books. This way when someone searches for books that site will rank well.

5. Reputation - Search engines do care about reputation. Sites with a consistent record a fresh engaging content in growing number of quality links may be consider as rising star and do well in search rankings.

These all are basics. The algorithms are refined and changed all the time. Good SEO is making sure that your website has good content that supported by the algorithms of search engines.
