"Organic Google"

[Nile]

Hello, on my google analytics and google webmaster tools it says that I come up from "organic google", I don't know what this means. Does anyone know? :)
Thanks!

An organic search is a search where the results are actually relevant rather than just pages that have payed to appear high in the lists.

Some search engines (I think Google as well) look for "bouncing" which means that you click on a search result, see that the page is not what you searched for and bounce back to the search results page to look at the other results.

If a page has a high "bouncing" it means that they show up high on the results lists without actually being relevant to the search. However, if the user goes to a page and stays there for a longer time or doesn't even come back, it means that the page is relevant and thus an organic search result.
