    I guess no one can give you the perfect answer. it is up to ourself to define it as google changes every now and then.
    Try google for "difference between SEM, SMO and SEO." you will get plenty of answers there as well.

    SEM is the Search Engine Marketing i.e. PPC etc.
    SMO is the methodization of social media activity with the intent of attracting unique visitors to website content. SMO is one of two online methods of website optimization; the other method is search engine optimization or SEO.

    they are totally two different things. SMO is Social media optimization and SEM is Search engine marketing.
    if you optimize your site for the social medias then its social media optimization and if you do optimization for the Search engine then its SEM.

    Social Media Optimization is done to attract unique visitors to website content. The visitor are only for short time as they gives their votes they move to another site. But the SMO has the power because it give live links.

    SMO is Social media optimization while SEM is Search engine marketing.
    - SMO refers to the optimization of the social media
    - SEO refers to the optimization for the search engines.

    Search engine optimization & search engine marketing both the terms actually refer to two different parts of the same marketing scheme.

    SEM is a much broader term than SEO, and actually includes SEO as one of its techniques. SEM is all that a company can do to advertise itself on a search engine, including paid inclusion and other ads.

    Search engine marketing (SEM) is the act of marketing a website via search engines, whether by improving rank in organic or natural listings, paid or sponsored listings or a combination of both.
