What is SEM?

SEM stands for Search Engine Marketing. The simplest way to describe it is "Paid Links" or "Sponsored Links" that appear next to your search query results in search engines.

These sponsored or paid links typically capture around 32% of all clicks on the first page of results in search engines.

The benefit of using SEM campaigns is that you can generate instant traffic and have complete control of the keywords and cost. You can select a number of options such as:

Geographic targeting and Gender targeting for SEM campaigns to ensure that you have complete control over your target market.

Experimentation with various keyword combinations helps determine which combinations would be suitable for your SEO campaigns. Discovering niche key phrases and then zoning in on these to help you decide which are successful and valuable to your campaigns.

The main advantage of a good SEM campaign is that it usually offers better conversion rates as they are more focused and targeted.

The other advantage of these paid ads is that you can buy a great rank on search results instantly. However you must ensure they form part of your whole campaign which involves a good SEO campaign.

It is important that the whole SEM efforts do not revolve around paid ads as the only way to generate traffic to your website.
