What are «sponsored links» and «SEO»?

When I say sponsored links, I'm thinking about the SEA : You bid on keywords, your ad appears immediately, you pay per click, and you control your ad’s visibility with surgical precision. The SEO, he, on the other hand, is the natural referencing : I optimize the site, create useful content, build authority, and my pages climb higher in organic search results—without paying for every click.
