    Frankly to say the SMO doesn’t have great difference from SEO. The main principle is the same - to increase PR but in this case, you should use various social media resources.
    I think that these methods should be used together to get more effect

    SEM and SEO is all about getting related traffic, however, they differs on the task that is being performed. In SEO you are mainly to get organic traffic through organic tasks like in particular submissions [directory, social bookmarking, blog submission, article submissions], blog commenting, forum commenting, blogging, and social networking while on SEM you are to target specific market/traffic through paid search like PPC and paid link exchange.

    Relationship between SEM and SEO


    SEM encourages search engines to spider your site — SEO increases your ranking
    SEM promotes visibility — SEO converts
    SEM drives traffic to your site — SEO qualifies and converts it to leads
    SEM delivers visitors — SEO draws them in

    Search engine marketing (SEM) is an umbrella term for anything that uses current search engine technology and marketing techniques to promote a website, increase traffic to the site and elevate its ROI. Search engine optimization (SEO) is a one component of SEM – a very important one.
    SEO is the multi-layered process of shaping website content and code to be attractive to search engine spiders and human visitors alike. SEO strategists work to improve organic rankings in the search engines using a combination of balanced keyword integration, meta tags, link structure modification, backlink generation and high-quality optimized content. It is an invaluable component of SEM for the natural traffic it provides.
