Other forms of [[search engine marketing]] (SEM) target paid listings. In general, the earlier (or higher on the page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including [[image search]], [[local search (Internet)|local search]], [[video search]], news search and industry-specific [[vertical search]] engines.
