The Difference between SEM and SEO

[trentwells787]

A web designer introduced me the concept of search engine optimization or SEO at the time I was deigning my website. He advised me not to underestimate the effectiveness of that particular process in the virtual world. The problem is, I am not quite familiar with the concept, and for this reason I would want to know more about it. There are various questions in my mind, first, is it a huge internet marketing practice? Second, what are the exact operations employed by SEM or search engine marketing? Lastly, is SEO a process under SEM or vice versa? All of these terms are confusing me and I would really appreciate it if someone can help me. I am hoping that this forum will help me sort everything out.

I see SEM as a rather broad term. It's everything that can be done to utilize the technology of search engines with the goal of promoting a web site and increasing its traffic, its "stickiness," and, in the case of sites that promote a business (or are a business), increase profits. SEO, therefore, would be a subset of SEM...

Search engine marketing or SEM, refers paid advertisements which appear at the top or on the right hand side of search engine results pages. These are purchased from Google adwords, Bing, etc. The ads are Pay Per Click (PPC), meaning you pay for every time someone clicks on your ad.

SEO is the process of optimizing your web site for the purpose of getting free traffic from search engines. An optimized web site is more easily understood by Search engine crawlers, so there are more chances of ranking higher.
