    No SEM is completely different than SEO. It is Social Media Optimization. And both SEM and SEO are branch of internet marketing.

    SEO is branch of SEM. In SEO, we try to learn search engines' strategy to rank websites and then try to optimize sites according that while in SEM we promote our websites in search engine. Google Adwords is its example.

    1. SEO: Search Engine Optimization - Under this section we are more concentrated on organic SEO ie. generating traffic from search engine results.

    SEM is more widely used for promoting your website, SEO is just about search engines and backlinks

    Hai guy,

    SEO and SEM are 2 diffrent things.

    SEO - search engine optimization, getting your site to be on the first page of Google in the FREE results.

    SEM - Having your site appear in the ads (or sponsored links) on Google - here you pay for each click. SEM is Google Adwords or yahoo and bing advertising.

    thnk
