SEO is you want to make money that is why you rank your site.
SMO is you want to build a community like social network and first build authority.

I understand it like this.
Hope it helps you.

Social Media Optimization differs from SEO primarily in that it's aimed at driving traffic to sites from places other than search engines. (It's also true that an improvement in SEO may follow SMO, too, to some extent). SMO is also considered part of "online reputation management" and is a service typically provided by ORM consultants.

Search Media Optimization typically refers to how well your site is optimized for social interaction. For example, a site with only a like button would be less socially optimized than a similar site with a like button, plus one button and Yahoo! Buzz button.

I think SMO means social media optimization have two meanings which are totally different than each other. First meaning is to develop or optimizing the social networks community of your business means building a fan page in facebook a group in linked in.
Second meaning make more sense to me which is optimizing the social media results. Like ranking your video high in the youtube results of certain keywords and similarly on other social networks

Social Media Optimization (SMO):

A set of methods for generating publicity through social media, online communities and community websites. Methods of SMO include adding RSS feeds, adding a "Digg This" button, blogging and incorporating third party community functionalities like Flickr photo slides and galleries or YouTube videos. Social media optimization is a form of search engine marketing.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO):

The act of altering a web site so that it does well in the organic, crawler-based listings of search engines. In the past, has also been used as a term for any type of search engine marketing activity, though now the term search engine marketing is more commonly used as an umbrella term.

SMO (social media optimization) is all social networking, it involves creating a good follower base so that you get more traffic. For SEO (search engine optimization) no networking is required. All you have to do is build a good PR and link building. Therefore the question of which is the best solely depends on how you use them.

SMO and SEO both have their own significance and have their different roles in SEO. Social media is basically for retrieving traffic to our site and SEO is for search engine ranking.Major differences between both terms is the networking aspect like social media is heavily-reliant on networking and strong profiles, while SEO can be done without this.

SEO and SMO are two of the bigger concerns for webmasters and Bloggers, as they can both have substantial impacts on the amount of traffic a website or blog receives. SEO and social media are directly proportional. You can't dream the success of your website without both of these. To start with the cost, SEO method of creating traffic to your website is more costly compared to the SMO methods.

I bet you have already heard about SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Even though the second one is a new term, am sure you already know it. SMO stands for Social media marketing.

These two are today’s key Internet Marketing strategies. There are different approaches you might want to opt for each of these. The SEO and SMO strategies are very different from each other, even though the end result is the same – Traffic!

SEO and SMO refer to two branches of the same online marketing process. SEO refers to the process of Search Engine Optimisation, that is,the process of modifying a website to enhance its chances of appearing in the top search results when relevant key words are entered into a search engine. SMO refers to the process of Social Media Optimisation, that is, all the methods that can be used to generate publicity for your website through the use of social media sites, including online communities and media sharing sites.

MO and SEO , this two have their own importance and have their dissimilar positions in seo. Social media is essentially for recovering traffic to our website and seo is for search engine ranking. Major dissimilarity between both conditions are the networking phase like social media is heavily-reliant on networking and powerful summaries, while SEO can be complete without this
