What is the difference between an algorithm and a filter?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

I recently started doing seo, I have not yet fully mastered some of the nuances, in particular, what is meant by the terms "algorithm" and "filter" in search engine optimization. Thanks

Answer 1

The algorithm in this context is, roughly speaking, a set of rules and instructions that the search engine follows when ranking documents in the search results.
Filter - the application of sanctions to sites that do not meet any strict criteria of the algorithm or violate the rules and recommendations of search engines.
