Search engine optimization is a compartment or division of Search Engine Marketing. The difference between SEO and SEM has the diminutive to do with the general mood of the population of the status quo, and that's the main problem. Do not change your thinking, change our thinking. Mostly SEO embarks on meta tags, titles, keyword density, good HTML when was the presentation of search engine paid inclusion, directories submission, and love.

SEO means Search Engine Optimization and SEM means Search Engine Marketing. Both are identical. And Search Engine Optimization has been done to increase the visibility of websites in search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN and some SEM marketing and earn CPC, PPC Ad Words and Ad Sense.

I see SEM as a rather broad term. It's everything that can be done to utilize the technology of search engines with the goal of promoting a web site and increasing its traffic, its "stickiness," and, in the case of sites that promote a business (or are a business), increase profits. SEO, therefore, would be a subset of SEM.

No SEM campaign is complete without SEO. Moreover, since the purpose of SEO is to make the site better for both search engines and users, you may find that it will suffice on its own. In any case, the advantages of SEO over the other aspects of SEM make it clear that, even if you are going to spend additional money on advertising and paid placement, SEO must be your first step in promoting your site.

SEO is free of cost, you have to pay nothing to search engines whereas in SEM you have to pay on per click basis.
