Search Engine Marketing

Search Engine Marketing, commonly referred to as SEM, or PPC (pay-per-click), is an Internet marketing strategy that involves the process of promoting a site’s visibility within search engine results pages (SERP’s).  In general, whenever an online searcher conducts a search query using keywords and phrases that pertain to your business, your search engine advertisement will appear within the “sponsored” section of the search results page.

The most common Search Engine Marketing methods include:  paid placement, contextual advertising, and paid-inclusion. The largest search engine vendors that offer Search Engine Marketing campaigns are Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, Microsoft adCenter, and Ask.com Sponsored Listings.
