What is the SEM Channel about?

The search result position is also important for B2B partnerships. Companies frequently view your position on search engine results pages in order to determine your potential as a possible business partner. While referral traffic has its limits in optimizing a site, SEM strategy can be unlimited which explains why some companies spend 80% of their advertising budget on Google Adwords Campaign alone.

In 2004, Neilson/Net Ratings shared strong brand recall for companies who attained listings at or near the top of a results page. These companies are portrayed to be industry leaders and often get clicked on more by users than their competitors holding a lower position on the search engine results page .
