Thanks in advance.

Google's definition

[SIZE=-1]Organic Search Engine Optimization is the SEM term for unpaid high ranking results on search engines.[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]

My Version...

Basically Organic SEO is getting high ranks for certain given keywords or keyword phrases on search engines and usually only referred to the most popular search engines.

Organic SEO = (Free) Meaning you didn't pay to be at that spot (You may have paid for someone to get you to that spot, but that's a different story entirely.

It's usually compared to regular advertising which cost money, which is why some may call it free SEO or free organic seo, etc.

I hope I didn't overlap anything there, lol.

Organic SEO is everything done naturally. Letting the SEO/SEM work speak for it's self.

No auto link submitting process, no black hat, just pure white hat methods.

Organic SEO is/was just a buzz word for Ethical and/or natural SEO. It's nothing different.

Organic search means 'showing up in the non-paid results'

Organic search means 'showing up in the non-paid results'

Google orders pages by how relevant they are to the users search term. In general, two factors affect relevance:

1. Content.
2. Inbound links.

Organic SEO basically bis ethical optimization without a paid placement program in place, its bringing in traffic by using content that works, linking strategies, and adding value through interactivity and a great user experience, not paid search listings.
