    SEM - Search engine Marketing : Deals with PPC and related things.

    SMO - Social marketing optimization : Methods to optimize your traffic through social networks.

    SEO - Search engine optimization : Mechanism to increase web traffic by promoting, Google ranking, PPC, social traffic etc. Generally SEO is the general methods and and other are sub set of SEO.

    Millbey said it, when someone says search engine marketing, it's using PPC and basically breaks down to X amount of money equals Y amount of clicks. SEO on the other hand requires more work, including on and off page SEO and link building, and in the long run is cheaper than PPC. Both require knowledge and work, but SEO is better for the long run.

    I agree...SEO is far better but it is a long term advertising that will yield you more success without losing your shirt in advertising cost.

    Actually all these terms are similar with a little difference. SEM and SMO are the techniques which help in SEO. In other words, these are the sub techniques of SEO. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    SEO you can get alot of traffic but it takes to long
    and it can be unpredictable.

    Free traffic is great but if you want traffic and scale
    your business fast, PAID Traffic is the way to go.
