    The difference between SEO and SEM is simply that Search Engine Optimization is part of Search engine marketing or Search marketing as it is widely known. Both processes aim in increasing visibility in search engines. SEO is about optimizing your website to get better rankings in the search results while SEM goes beyond SEO. It involves other methods that can get you more search engine visitors like PPC advertising.

    As @MaryAnderson points out, the two work together, but search engine optimization is a sub-strategy of the overall search marketing campaign. SEO is more concerned with maximizing the number of visitors to your website by ensuring high ranking on the list of results returned by a search engine.

    SEM is more of 
    the promotion of websites through increased visibility in search engine results pages through optimization and advertising techniques.
