Algorithm
In general, an algorithm is a set of instructions that is assigned a specific analytical task. It most often applies to mathematics and computer science.
For websites and digital marketers, algorithms refer to the many programs designed to analyze and assess either a website, individual digital elements, or user behavior on a site. Based on this data, the algorithm could then be designed to rank a website, list a web element as a search result, or suggest content to a user, such as on Youtube or Facebook.
