Search Engine Marketing – What is
it?
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) means search engine
advertising. Also known as PPC, or (Pay Per Click),
advertising, it means buying your way to the top to get
instant rankings. Yes, the Search Engines are selling their
real estate, and in many cases, we can barely distinguish
between the paid results and the advertising. More about
Pay Per Click Advertising
What is it NOT?
It is not the same as SEO, (Search Engine Optimization).
SEO requires changes made to your website. SEM is just a
basic form of advertising. The Search Engines paid results
indicate "sponsored", but they're still at the top of the
pile.
An effective internet campaign will usually involve both
SEM and SEO activities.
Search Engine Marketing – Why do you need
it?
• Coming up at the top of Google, Yahoo or MSN gives
you an enormous advantage over your competition.
• Starting a Pay Per Click campaign gives you
indisputable results and statistics you can use immediately
to form a basis for the future.
• Your campaign can be built according to precise
budgets, limiting costs, guaranteeing ROI, and minimizing
risk. What other advertising medium offers that?
