    They are the buzz words for On-Page Optimization (SEO), Lead/Traffic Generation (PPC) and Link building.

    SEO is the practice of getting results within ORGANIC search listing.

    SEM 'technically' focuses on Paid Search Advertising

    SMO is not really for link building but more for things like 'link bait'

    SEM includes PPC and SEO. SMO refers to just social media.

    SEO (Search Engine Optimization)is optimizing your site for the organic section, results are comparatively for long term
    SEM (Search Engine Marketing)emphasizes on the paid section where links are purchased, and you have quicker results
    SMO (Social Media optimization) SEO practices on social networks like facebook, myspace, twitter etc
