    SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, SEO is the process of improving a web site’s rankings in search results of search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. These listings are also known as “organic” listings. While SEM stands for Search Engine Marketing, SEM involves driving website traffic via paid advertising, such as PPC (Pay-Per-Click) ads. SEO helps improve organic search results while SEM focuses more on advertising.

    sem is search engine marketing where you pay to the search engine to rank a keyword in the search engine. where as in seo you need to bring the keyword in ranking without paying to the search engine in a organic way by following the rules which are framed by the search engine.
