    Hi,

    Social Media Optimization (SMO) is an effective marketing and advertising tool to get high volume traffic. The use of social interaction and networking through social bookmarking and video and photo sharing websites to attract selected customers to any specific website has turned many existing or start up brands into huge success stories. Social networking services will help you to boost sales and ROI drastically.

    SMO: SMO is a set of methods for generating publicity through social media, online communities and community websites. The focus is on driving traffic from sources other than search engines, though improved search ranking is also a benefit of successful SMO.

    SEM:SEM is the acronym for Search Engine Marketing. SEM is the process whereby a website is marketed online using the means of Google Adwords, for example. Costs are measured on Cost per Click (CPC) or Cost per 1000 Impressions (CPM)
