SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It is the process of getting traffic from the “free,” “organic,” “editorial” or “natural” listings on search engines. All major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing have such results, where web pages and other content such as videos or local listings are shown and ranked based on what the search engine considers most relevant to users.


Social media optimization is in many ways a technique of Internet marketing where word of mouth is created not through friends or family but through the use of networking in social bookmarking, video and photo sharing websites, and therefore, you require through Social media optimization (SMO) professionals who could create an impact which is not only optimized to potential but also ethical.

Search engine optimization (SEO) and social media optimization (SMO) are two terms that are often used together and even interchangeably. However, despite both terms containing the word "optimization", there are key differences between SEO and SMO. It is possible to achieve SEO and not SMO, or vice versa, if one is not aware of how the two strategies work. Alternately, if good SEO practices are followed, one may also be rewarded with SMO.

SMO is a strategy that often places user interest and publicity ahead of defined keywords and key phrases. This can lead to immense initial popularity for the web content, followed by later stagnation. Therefore, it is imperative that content submitted to social media sites still maintain SEO as a goal.

Lots of replies are described well the difference between seo & smo. And i would like to add my points listed below;

1) The traffic you receive from your SEO efforts is huge and consistent. You continue to receive the traffic based on your SERP (search engine rank positions). If you have higher ranks, you have huge traffic. While You could identify SMO as a quick fix when compared to SEO. SMO is all about huge traffic spikes in short time, it does not require and wait time for the search engine bots to index your page. It directly fires your messages to the potential visitors.

2) SMO is all about social networking and building a good follower base is important. SEO requires no networking efforts, It is all about quality PR and link building.

Hope it helps. :)
