Social Media Optimization Vs. Search Engine Optimization

While Search engine optimization is still an effective search engine marketing tool, Social Media Optimization is a comparatively newer concept, but its growth at an alarming rate is quite scary.

All of us wish to be connected. It is just a natural phenomenon. And social media optimization or SMO as it is popularly being called thrives on the idea. It is a tool which people use to connect with one another.

Just as we were enjoy the rising popularity of search engine optimization as the most effective search engine marketing technique. SMO came marching in with the attitude of a ruler. And why not, it was being supported by Web 2.0 after all. Lets just do a little compare game between the two and find out who is better than who.


Search engine optimization has evolved over the years. It has grown to become interactive and caters to our visual and audio senses. It has become the surfer's friend on the internet, telling them what they are looking for, what is good and what is bad. On the other hand, social media optimization too is an interactive means through which websites can be optimized. The methods used by social media optimization to popularize a website, though are quite different from what SEO does. They use various user interactive techniques like RSS Feeds, Digg, third party communities like Flickr and YouTube etc. It is the usage of these interesting tools that make social media optimization more interesting that search engine optimization.

It is the participation of the users in social media optimization that makes them more popular than search engine optimization. SMO encourages a 100% involvement of consumers. They participate in discussions provide their suggestions and involve in conversations with others on different platforms like blogs, forums, community websites etc.

This I believe is the most important difference between search engine optimization and social media optimiation, and the latter is definitely more popular than the former. Though functionality wise, both might stand on almost the same platform, SEO it seems needs to buck up its activities to reach up to the popularity level of SMO which it has acquired in very little time.
