How SEM Works?

SEM is basically paid advertising in search engines, where you ‘Pay Per Click’. It is text advertising that appears on search result page when certain keywords are searched for.

Due to that click, the advertiser’s account is charged by the search engine’s advertising partner.

You should include some good and relevant keywords on your site, as finding the right keywords also helps your SEO efforts. There are plenty of keyword research tools such as Google keyword research tool, wordtracker, wordstream and many more. Some tools are free while others charge you to get advanced results.

Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising

PPC is very vital for successful search engine marketing. In order to lure your target audience towards your site, it’s the most significant advertising technique as it provides you with options, allowing you to display your ads and is reliable for paid marketing, as well.

Video Marketing

Video marketing is yet another SEM strategy which apart from being popular is quite effective.

Therefore, you must produce short videos about your products and post it on your page, to draw more visitors. Youtube happens to be the most successful in video marketing and it also requires you to choose your keywords properly.

    Very informative post. I tend to get a higher click through rate (CTR) on google’s content network, using low competition keywords, as oppose to search network.

    I’d rather do PPC advertising than the kind where you get paid only if the person buys the product. And as for the video marketing, I’m only a fan if they’re like the ones FB is going to be implementing where the sound only plays if the person clicks on the ad. It would be overwhelming and annoying to have too many video ads with sound.

    Hi,
    It’s a great post, PPC can be a money-track. PPC is definitely the most obvious method of paid advertising, and probably the easiest to earn money. Thank you for your informative post.
