The dividing
line between the descriptions '
search engine marketing' and
'search engine optimization' is not sharp and clear cut. The latter is in fact
a form of the former and the former cannot exist without the latter. The two
expressions are like conjoined twins who are different and same at the same
time.
search
engine marketing, commonly known as
SEM, is the
marketing of web sites to get them a sought-after place in the results that
search engines spew forth in answer to every customer query. Different online
and offline marketing tactics are used to grab this right place in the search
engine results, known as search engine ranking. The more common of these online
search engine marketing methods are search engine
optimization of the site, blogging, article writing, pay per click advertising,
and paid inclusion.
While each of
these
search engine marketing methods is different in its
own way, search engine optimization is common to all the methods. The first
SEM technique, search engine optimization of the site,
requires that the site be sculpted as much as possible to make it acceptable to
the search engines. Having the right keyword throughout the site in the
required density, and having back links are the requirements for optimizing the
site. Right keywords and links attract search engines like magnet.
Next
search engine marketing technique is blogging. A blog is a
sort of a journal or diary that the writer can steadily update and so far as
the contents of the blog are good, readers will again and again come back for
more on the topic. However, even for these blogs to get noticed, they must be
search engine optimized with the right keywords. As such, though blogging is a
different mode of expression, it will serve the purpose of
search
engine marketing better, if it is optimized to suit the proclivities
of search engines.
Article writing
is also a very effective technique for
search engine
marketing as skilled writers can spin words and drive home a point or
describe a product. However, because of the method of working of search
engines, even the best article will go unnoticed if the search engines do not
pick them up. This means that once again, search engine optimization is
necessary for even a good article to do its job of
search engine
marketing.
Pay per click
advertising, and paid inclusion, are slightly different from the other methods.
Still pay per click will also work as a
search engine
marketing technique only if the ad is phrased using the correct
keywords. The keyword should be good enough for convincing the search
engine that it is related to the search query that has been made. In short,
optimization with the right keyword is the essence of most forms of
search engine marketing.
