    SEO is nothing but Search Engine Optimization, i.e. optimizing your website to be the favorite of all search engines. Rarely do people, especially first time customers, come directly to the website. They search for what they are looking for and it is the Search Engines that guide them to your website.

    Search engine marketing, (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.

    SEO evens the playing field and takes power away from search engines and social media platforms.

    SEM created monopolies.

    SEO is egalitarian, SEM is pay-to-play and is a gateway into having internet where there is no equal access and no neutrality on the web.

    SEM stands for Search Engine Marketing and even Wikipedia has two definitions. In the broadest sense of the word, search engine marketing 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 search engine optimization (SEO), paid placement, contextual advertising, and paid inclusion." So search engine optimisation is one component of search engine marketing. The second definition again from Wikipedia but referenced in many other online articles, is that "search engine marketing (SEM) target paid listings". It is the use of pay per click ads, banner ads, paid directory listings etc to drive traffic to a site. So if you are confused about the terms, don't worry, so is the internet marketing community too.

    SEM stands for "search engine marketing" and SEO stands for "search engine optimization."

    SEM is the all-encompassing broad phrase that includes SEO as well as paid search activities such as Google AdWords purchases.
