Difference between organic and paid results

Organic search results are the Web page listings that most closely match the user’s search query based on relevance.
Paid results are basically advertisements — the Web site owners have paid to display ads
 
Organic search results are listings on search engine results pages that appear because of their relevance to the search terms, as opposed to their being advertisements. In contrast, non-organic search results may include pay per click advertising.
 
Whenever you type a question into Google, or any other search engine, the list of links that appear below the ads are known as "organic results." These appear purely based on the quality and content of the page.
Traffic that comes from people finding your links among these results is classified as "organic search" traffic or just organic traffic.

Paid search accounts are those that companies have paid to appear the top of search results (above those that earned their page one spots organically.)
 
When a search engine returns its search results, it gives you two types: organic and paid. Organic search results are the Web page listings that most closely match the user’s search query based on relevance. Also called natural search results, ranking high in the organic results is what SEO is all about. Paid results are basically advertisements — the Web site owners have paid to have their Web pages display for certain keywords, so these listings show up when someone runs a search query containing those keywords.
