SEO is Search engine optimization and is the process you use in getting your site to place well on search results.SEM is search engine marketing and involves purchasing advertising space on search result pages. Sponsored listings are SEM.

SEM does NOT mean buying advertising though paid avertising is part of it.

SEM is actually what you all call "optimisation" and that is making sure your site pages get shown to the users of search engines.

- SEM is the all-encompassing broad phrase that includes SEO as well as paid search activities such as Google AdWords purchases. SEM is more expensive and quite possibly more targeted And SEO is free and its purpose is to obtain better free search listings.

- SMM is one of the most effective ways to reach technique. Marketing Social Media Marketing is to use social networking platforms and user-generated content to promote a product, service or content. often involves creating and participating in a dialogue with the public, rather than forcing a notice on them.
