With current computers algorithms can be run automatically: the individual steps of the algorithm are encoded as instructions in a program and afterwards the program is executed. ---- ===== Importance for SEO ===== Search engines use algorithms as well to sort their indexed [[website|websites]] by relevance to the searched term.
