    Search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) are very similar and also very different. SEM attempts to increase traffic through pay-per-click advertising and other forms of online promotion. SEO works on improving your website for both search engines and visitors.

    SEO can be done just to drive traffic... You may want to use it to monetize a website or not.

    SEM is pretty much about monetizing.

    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.

    SEM, is a form of Internet marketing that seeks to promote websites by increasing their visibility in search engine result pages (SERPs) through the use of paid placement, contextual advertising, and paid inclusion.. Search engine marketing has a wider range. While SEO is a basic and very important part of it.

    Search Engine Marketing (SEM) covers any aspects of web marketing. It is just a general term - SEO is just one area of SEM, as is PPC.

    Additionally, SEO should be done first and properly. Then next is SMO. SMO is time consuming but you will really get a good traffic upon doing this. Working on this will lead to a good result in your handled site.

    SEM is a bit broad. Search Engine Marketing includes SEO, affiliate marketing, ppc, banner advertising and some other marketing strategies too.
