Filter

Filter is a search engine term for what the search engine will do when it comes across something on a website which makes it seem unnatural. If a website is found to be unnatural the search engine will filter that site out of its search results. Duplicate content on a website is one thing that will result in it being filtered as is the quality of anchor text and link quality, spamming can also result in filtering.
