    Just a little search on Google would help you! You're lazy.....

    SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization which is meant for search rankings in search engines through keywords and phrases.

    SMO stands for Social Media Optimization which is meant for brand awareness and increase of brand loyality for business purpose.

    Hi guys,

    SEO stands for Search engine optimisation. It is the best strategy to increase the traffic of the site through keywords and key phrases whereas SMO stands for Social media optimisation. Social media optimization is in many ways connected as a technique to viral marketing where word of mouth is created not through friends or family, but through the use of networking in social bookmarking, video and photo sharing websites.

    Thanks a lot

    SEO and SMO are the part of online marketing. SEO, also known as Search Engine optimization, is the method of optimizing a website so that a website could rank well in search engines. On the other hand SMO, also known as Social Media Optimization, is the method of optimizing content so that it could be liked and linked by a number of users on the web. SMO helps the users to improve the awareness of a brand, product, or services.

    I'd like to add a little more information...

    SEO has gotten a lot harder nowadays, but it's an old "method", while SMO is very new.
    Overall SEO (from my experience) is far more effective in attracting traffic than SMO - which is rather useful when you already have a number of fans/members.
    I think it's better to make SEO your priority and leave SMO secondary, but still important.
