Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has traditionally been thought of as a component of the umbrella term, Search Engine Marketing (SEM), encompassing both paid AND organic tactics. Today, SEM is used to refer exclusively to paid search. According to Search Engine Land, Search Engine Marketing is "the process of gaining website traffic by purchasing ads on search engines," while Search Engine Optimization is defined as "the process of getting traffic from the free, organic, editorial or natural search results on search engines."

While SEO is the technical side filled with keywords, links and page content, Internet Marketing is the more human aspect of the two platforms. In fact, Internet Marketing plays a huge role in a company's success since it focuses primarily on interaction with people through article marketing, video marketing and social media. In fact, never before has social media played such a significant role in a company's success as it does now. Through websites, such as Facebook and Google +, a company can freely extend its reach and market its product in a matter of seconds.

So, rather than viewing SEM as an umbrella term encompassing SEO, it's more accurate to view SEM (paid search) and SEO (organic search) as separate entities to use as part of your Search Marketing arsenal.
