What is better, SEO or SMO?

[peterking786]

Search Engine Optimization or SEO and Social Media Optimization or SMO are two powerful ways to make a website known and increase the traffic and thus establish a good web presence for a company or a business. While SMO wants to improve the presence in the social media, SEO wants to improve the ranking in search engines. Both of these strategies are quite effective when talking about traffic increase. Therefore both are applied in promoting websites. In your opinion, which of the two is more effective? Did you use one of the two techniques?

According to me SMO and SEO both are having equal importance. We can increase sites popularity by sharing it in networking sites, bookmarking your sites each page, by increasing friends following. Doing article submission, blog commenting and forum commenting. All these steps contributes to sites ranking.
