Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
Search engine marketing, or SEM, is a form of Internet marketing that seeks to promote websites by increasing their visibility in the search engine result pages (SERPs). Also referred to as contextual advertising, SEM is the practice of buying paid search listings that compliment your organic search listings. 1
This form of online marketing is non-intrusive because it originates when a user enters a search request; thereby indicating implied intent. These search engine results provide a valuable source for targeted traffic through either natural search engine rankings or paid advertising listings such as paid search or paid linking.
