Organic traffic
Visits that come from organic search results, not from advertising. Essentially, organic traffic online, where people find your website because it's relevant, not because you paid for the click.
Organic traffic refers to visitors who arrive via unpaid search results. It takes longer to build than paid advertising but is more resilient: If a site ranks for a question today, it will generally still rank for that question next month, without any further budget commitment.
The difference in the calculation: An ad that costs €1,20 per click generates €600 per month with 500 clicks. Reaching the same 500 organic visits requires a one-time investment in content and technical aspects, followed by ongoing maintenance. Realistically, this takes three to nine months, which is why both approaches make sense: ads for immediate results, and organic growth for long-term success.
