A search engine is an information retrieval system designed to help
find information stored on a
computer system,
such as on the World Wide
Web, inside a corporate or proprietary network, or in a
personal computer.
The search engine allows one to ask for content meeting specific criteria
(typically those containing a given word or phrase) and retrieves a list of
items that match those criteria. This list is often sorted with respect to some
measure of relevance of the results. Search engines use regularly updated
indexes to operate quickly and efficiently.

In Internet
marketing, search engine marketing, or SEM, is a set of
marketing methods to increase the visibility of a
website in
search engine
results pages (SERPs). The two main methods of SEM are:
-
Search engine optimization attempts to improve rankings for relevant
keywords in search results by improving a web site's structure, content, and
relevant backlink count.
-
Pay per click advertising uses sponsored search engine listings to drive
traffic to a web site. The advertiser bids for search terms, and the search
engine ranks ads based on a competitive auction as well as other factors.

Search engine optimization (SEO), considered by many to be a
subset of
search engine marketing, is a term used to describe a process of improving
the volume or quality of traffic to a
web site from search
engines, usually in "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Those
efforts may also be seen in more narrow vertical search engines involving areas
such as local search. Many site owners and consultants engaging in SEO attempt
to pursue qualified visitors to a site, and the quality of visitor traffic can
be measured by how often a visitor using a specific keyword phrase leads to a
desired conversion action, such as making a purchase, viewing or downloading a
certain page, requesting further information, signing up for a newsletter, or
taking some other specific action. Source: wikipedia.org Search engine optimization Services by Originet IBS Inc.
