Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

What is Search Engine Marketing (SEM)?

These days, most known search engines give you the possibility to place paid ads beside the search results. The most important providers in this segment are Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and MIVA. The so-called sponsored links (paid listings) generally appear above, below or beside the search engine’s regular search results. The ad's display is keyword specific. That's why this form of marketing is also known as "keyword advertising".

The main search engines pay close attention to the relevance of the advertisements. On Google, the quality of the ad is even one of the characteristics that determine the ad’s order of appearance. Because the normal search results (organic search) of some keywords are relatively inaccurate, users are depending more and more on the quality of paid advertisements. Therefore, besides having visibility in search engine lists, booking sponsored links is indispensable for a complete search engine marketing campaign. You can only reach all user groups by being in the paid text links as well as in the index results.
