    Both SEO and SMO has their own identity and their own purpose. I would like to share here something:

    SEO and SMO both are the technique for the internet marketing, SEO takes time to give you the result but gives you the long time result with the real customers and visitors.

    In Case of SMO it help you to make your promotion more social and there is more indulging for real peoples. It offer you interesting way to promote your business, Through this technique you will get the millions of people to lead your business. SMO is the easiest way to bring the traffic or visitors to your website.

    Search Engine Traffic is targeted traffic, so conversion rate will be high. But Social Media traffic is un-targeted traffic, so we can not expect good conversion rate. Anyway SMO will help to do link building which is important for SEO.

    Good Answer Robin... I am fed up of people abusing threads to get more backlinks/inlinks and just try to finish the question in one line or few words. Don't know why people won't understand that even forums can also be use as a social media.

    Depends entirely on the niche. SEO works well for informational sites, since people are more likely to be search for that information. SMO works well for viral campaigns, pictures, videos etc.

    SEO provides more effective visitors while SMO has not convert visitors into your clients so efficiently. For me SEO has a upper edge over SMO.

    Both are of different online marketing methods. SEO (Search engine optimization) is the method which is used to optimize our website with search engines to get traffic from the search engines. And SMO (Social media optimization) is the methods which is used to optimize our website with the social media platforms like facebook, twitter, google+, linkedIn etc. to get traffic from those websites/networks.

    I agree with jitendrashukla, SEO is about gaining free traffic and achieving top ranking in search engine while SMO is about building a community through power profile that make possible the direct interaction with your audience and builds a strong reputation in the market that helps in drawing high traffic towards your site. Both of these are working for the same goal.
