    SEO is referred to content, and SEM is more like direct marketing on specific networks, such as MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking platforms

    SEM is rather a broad term. I guess, SEM is everything that can be done to utilize the technology of search engines with promoting a site and increasing the traffic, stickiness. In the case of sites that promote a business, increase profits. SEO, therefore, would be a subset of SEM.
