I rally could not understand that why people want to go for SEO VS SMO.. BOTH concept are entirely different, SEO related with page rank and SERP whereas SMO related with Traffic. Traffic can be generated through PPC but PAGE rank and SERP cannot be genereted without onpage optimization and of page optimization.SMO is only ADDED feature of SEO and not more that.Do not forget one thing when you including other website link for Social bookmark you are promoting outbound link which never be a good idea from SEO point of view. Outbound link can be use only Reciprocal link purpose.SMO for Traffic based and SMO traffic visit website without SESEO is only for SERP and SE traffic comes only through SERP, and it require on-page and Off-page OptimizationIf possible Please rectify if I am wrong..SEO Experthttp://www.brandmantra.netIMO.. due to SE/web publisher, prefer to place ppc ads above of search result. eg, yahoo SE have ads on header and footer. thus resulting in people willing to pay for listed.indeed seo is not cheap, and took far long time, somemore not guarantee to be listed. so, ppc would be a quick and better solution for this concernBeing a SEO expert you want others to confirm your knowledge and SEO skills. What exactly is SMO?When you say SMO, are you talking about Social Media Optimization? If so, there are a lot differences between the two. Depends on what your trying to build (sales vs. brand), are you an ecommerce site, maybe a new site, maybe just a person?It all depends on what market your in on which one you decide to focus on.which is more preferrable SEO or SMO?I would say SEO for meBecause I do web related stuffs and this one is more useful Hi.How does SMO help a business site?l didnt understand whats smo You cant have SMO without having done any SEO, you'll have a whole bunch of cool toys in a box no one can open.Its probably also not always appropriate for a corporate, esp. b2b and older demographics... could end up confusing them and turn them away.... thats assuming I have a general idea of what SMO is since ive never actually heard of it before this post!I think SEO AND SMO are just a part of ( SEM ) Social Engine Marketing...
