    You almost got me confused there with the SMO stuff. We all know social media are always a subset of SEO so I don't think they can be seen as rivals of sort. Just that the popularity of SMO is on a high.

    Social Media drives more visitors to our websites. Twitter, facebook etc are the major social media websites where people target to get more traffic.

    Right you are, SMO is NOT the rival to SEO, the ones who say so are mistaken, that goes without any doubt. To be honest, I'd advise you to google and check the books on this stuff. Forum members will always have different opinions

    SEO and SMO are very similar in the respects that they both include content creation in an effort to improve traffic however the difference between SEO and SMO is that SEO is an effort to improve the traffic to an intended website, whereas SMO is an effort to improve the activity and communications between a network and a single user or brand.
