Terms definitions

1. ↑ search engine marketing. Search Engine Marketing (SEM) refers to the practice of marketing a business using paid advertisements that appear on search engine results pages. These advertisements are often driven by bids on keywords that users of services such as Google and Bing might enter when looking for certain products or services. SEM offers advertisers the opportunity to put their ads in front of motivated customers who are ready to make a purchase. The evolution of SEM has integrated a range of strategies, such as search engine optimization (SEO), paid listings management, and online marketing strategies like pay-per-click (PPC) programs. The technique is crucial in today's digital era, aiding various industries in attracting consumers and increasing opportunities. Despite challenges such as competition and evolving search algorithms, SEM continues to be a vital tool for online visibility and business growth.

2. ↑ Search engine ( Search Engine ) A search engine is a vital tool that functions as part of a distributed computing system. It's a software system that responds to user queries by providing a list of hyperlinks, summaries, and images. It utilizes a complex indexing system, which is continuously updated by web crawlers that mine data from web servers. Some content, however, remains inaccessible to these crawlers. The speed and efficiency of a search engine are highly dependent on its indexing system. Users interact with search engines via a web browser or app, inputting queries and receiving suggestions as they type. The results may be filtered to specific types, and the system can be accessed on various devices. This tool is significant as it allows users to navigate the vast web, find relevant content, and efficiently retrieve information.
