What you are saying is - Google judges search engine positions on relevance. The number one site in the SERPs is the most relevant (in Googles eyes) for the search phrase. If thats what youre saying then thank god ive been building relevant content and links for people! Phew! That is, after all, the basic of basics.
When describing "relevance score" you summed it up nicely in an earlier post. Our "relevance score" comes from our ranking. If we are 5th then (in googles eyes) we are the fifth most relevant site.
