    Both of them have their own significance we can't say that only SEO or SMO is better but to some extent SEO has given rise to the SMO think it like if there is no SMO then I don't think there should have SMO :p

    If you do affiliate or sell any product and you need quick relevant customer then you can go with SMO .but if your target is to run CPC or long term blogging plan then you need seo first.

    Thanks

    IN order to promote your website or product both are required... How ever if you are just promoting your product through any referral link and you don't have any website than only SMO will be useful for you....

    SMO is not a competition for SEO. Rather SMO is a value addition to SEO to make it further effective.
    like what we say PR is one of 100 measures that determines ranking of a site in search engine, SMO is one of those SEO method...
    I have written a blog post about it headed "Social media optimization strategies that worked". . .

    To make things better SMO is part of SEO to achieve long term duration of results. We use social media sites as a medium to reach your targeted audience that's why it's one of the most important factor in Off Page SEO.

    SMO is definitely competition for SEO, as when done right it can replace the whole emphasis on ranking sites with one of building direct link-through traffic based on positive social interaction online. Google doesn't like this, as people pursuing an effective alternative to targeted traffic other than the search engine route would affect its bottom line---so it has amended its algo to integrate social media into its ranking formula.

    Under G's current scheme, social signals provide additional verification of authority or trust in a site. By this means marketers have been trained to think of social media as a component of SEO, thus keeping their perspective Google-centric. But properly scaled, SMO can (and perhaps should) operate as a wholly separate method of getting targeted visitors to websites.

    I agree with the ones that say that SMO has a different purpose than SEO. SMO helps you reach people on a personal level on all the top networks to which you belong. The SEO is for making your site show up in search results so you don't have to work so hard to get website traffic.

    SMO is far better than SEO.
    (Just my opinion though)

    I actually have a friend who runs a fashion blog and he always promote everything in his blog through social media, and he's getting good results. I mean numerous sales.

    Well, you seemed to ask a very broad question both SEO and SMO are fruitful as you know that SEO gets you traffic from the search engine while SMO get you traffic from the social networking media, I would rather say that both are fruitful and both of them requires effort you can't just say I have created a page on the social networking site and is going to get me traffic, it depends on the work you are doing. :)

    I agree somewhat above all , certainly they can not be alternative of each other. You must use it in combination or in balance. Smo is good fast traffic but can not last like seo

    You can not go with one SEO , no doubt SEO is better than SMO ..it takes time but gives consistent benefit..However how will you deal with Google Animal update ...suppose from SEO you get 2000 visit per days ..but just in one single update of google you'll come from top to bottom ...This is the place where SMO comes into play for those who think only SEO is enough ..I have seen many frustrated & desprate website owner searching for SEO consultant after Google Update ...So it's always better & safe to go in balance

    For me SEO is better than SEO, well obviously you shouldn't compare them, because they are different.

    Why SEO is better? SEO is build strong and long term traffic. The result is long but when gain the position you can just sit back and watch the traffic.
