    What is the difference between SEO and SEM?

    What is the difference between SEO and SEM? I already know a lot about SEO but have not really heard that much about SEM. What does SEM do? Is SEO a part of the whole SEM process?

    I think the SEM or search engine marketing is the advertising that you place on the search engine that can be seen by the searchers. For example your niche is a clothing line that when someone searches for clothing line your site will appear on the right side of the search list because it is advertised there. That means there is an expense involved in SEM unlike in SEO when it is free if you can do it yourself.

    It looks like SEO is the in thing now and SEM is just being born at least in my knowledge. If we focus on SEO, we can increase the ranking of the website in the search list of the search engines. For SEM, we rely on the ranking of our website for added traffic. What if the website ranking is way below? You probably have to pay someone to do the SEO work in order to increase your website’s ranking and for you to continue with your search engine marketing.

    SEO and SEM are part of digital marketing, both take a role in executing your website and getting it in front of the right users in search engine. SEO employs organic strategies whereas SEM employs paid strategies.
