search query and then click on one of the websites
that are displayed on the search engine results page.

SEO is that websites do not pay for organic
search traffic. Organic traffic is considered more
valuable than inorganic traffic.
26. Organic vs. Inorganic SEO: Key Differences, Explained
Organic Search Rankings
Generally, your website can move up the search
rankings through two types of strategies: organic and
inorganic. Organic search engine rankings don’t have a
direct cost, as you don’t pay Google to rank well,
organically. Instead, the site appears near the top of
the list without paying for a promotion because Google’s
algorithm finds the page content to be relevant and
useful.
27. Organic vs Non Organic SEO
Common Organic SEO strategies include:
Keyword analysis
Content development and blogging
Streamlining website structure
Link outreach
Meta-tag optimization
Inorganic Search Rankings
On the other hand, inorganic search rankings refer to high placements that a website
pays for. In a nutshell, a website gives the search engine money in exchange for a
higher spot on the list. You might hear this referred to as SEM or PPC (Search Engine
Marketing or Pay Per Click). Often, inorganic rankings aren’t directly paid for, but bid
on in a keyword auction.
Some inorganic SEO strategies include:
Pay per click advertising
Paid affiliate marketing
Banner ads
Re-Marketing
