Search Engine Marketing is a form of
Online and Internet Marketing which

So what is the difference between SEO
( Search Engine Optimization ) and SEM
( Search Engine Marketing )?
Search Engine Marketing is when you
are simply paying the search engine to
place you on their search engine. This
is referred to as Pay Per Click. Search
Engines place your website o their
"Results Page" and when visitors,
searching for your specified keywords,
click on your website you get charged.
On the other hand, Search Engine
Optimization is much more complex and
harder to achieve. This is usually
referred to as "Natural or Organic SEO
or Search Engine Optimization". What
this means is that a Search Engine
Optimization expert tweaks your website
in a way that would come up on search
engines naturally and when visitors
visit your website, you would not get
charged.
