Organic search is a method for entering one or more search items into a search engine. Organic search results are listings on search engine results pages that appear because of their relevance.
In contrast, non-organic search results may include pay per click advertising.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_search

An organic keyword is a keyword used to attract free traffic through search engine optimization (SEO). Organic keywords contrast with pay-per-click (PPC) keywords, which are bid on through paid search marketing campaigns.

Reminder to use the new [quote] directive around copy/pasted txt please. Also please try to use your own words when possible. Trying to avoid FT from getting dinged for plagiarism / duplicate web content. Thx!
