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.
