Algorithmic Results

Algorithmic results are the listings search engines provide in response to a query (see above). They are may also be known as “Organic Listings” as opposed to “Paid Listings” because their rank is based on relevancy to the query that has been typed rather than advertising revenue which has been paid to the search engine. Paid listings appear sometimes alongside the algorithmic results in search engines, providing they are relevant. Improving a website’s (free) algorithmic results is known as Natural Search Engine Optimization.
