SEO (search engine marketing) is a part of SEM (search engine marketing). Both have the same target of achieving maximum traffic to the website.

In my own opinion, SEM might include SEO. SEM also includes PPC, CPM besides SEO. In other words, SEM for paid traffics while SEO for organic ones.

After this post, all of the other explanations were pretty much trying to say what this post said in a different way.

In terms of what a site designer should bring to the table to provide maximum SEO and SEM is a basic understanding of both concepts. Beyond that, unless the site designer is also writing the content for the site, they are only involved in the technical side of things. Otherwise, the person or persons writing the content for the site will have more impact on the SEO and SEM as they are responsible for righting engaging, keyword-rich content that will attract visitors and keep them on your pages.

SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page and it is basically the list of sites you get when you search for a specific keyword or term. Many people are fixated on high SERP position but I and many others advocate focusing on the quality of your content rather than designing your page for maximum SERP results.

Great comment,
comparing current search results with the practices of prior years, and looking at the wayback machine
there are huge changes in algorithms used,
it wont be long till pages designed solely to maximise SERP are a negative impact and lessen SERP
Failure is not an option It's included free, you don't have to do anything to get it
If at first you dont succeed, join the club
Of course its always in the last place you look, you dont keep looking after you find it

Please mark solved problems, solved
