Search Engine Marketing  (SEM)

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is more commonly but incorrectly referred to as SEO. SEM/SEO are terms many people are aware of without really understanding the dramatic benefits good SEM can have on a business.

A website without a good SEM Strategy is the equivalent of locating your business in outer space, sure it may be an impressive technical achievement but who is going to visit you?

What is SEM?

SEM, is the all encompassing term for the techniques used for attracting greater numbers of better quality visitors to your website from the Search Engines.

There are two basic camps under SEM: Organic Traffic (Free) and Paid Traffic. The dominating mantra for most website owners is “I’ve got to get on page 1 of Google”. They think if this can be achieved then all their problems will be solved.

Online Business Owners love hearing their competitors taking this simplistic approach because they know Page 1 of Google although nice, is far from the be all and end all.  Whilst their competitors are focusing on page rank Online Business owners are building profit.

An Online Business is the same as any business, win and process customers for less than you charge them equals profit. There are a multitude of approaches that can be taken to ensure your website works effectively with the search engines and they vary from business to business.
