Which is better to drive traffic to my website, SEO or Social Media Marketing?
Both are the good for getting the traffic...
As both are different so both have their own advantages so both are equally important.
Both are different so both have its own benefits so both are very important to promote your sites... facebook app creation
Both has its own advantages. Once your website has proper keywords, title, content related to your services or products would make the search engines to crawl and index your site sooner. While social media marketing is that you have to move in with some paid services too.
SEO and SEM both are done to drive more traffic on a site. If you have large friend circle on social networking site then SEM is better rather than SEO.
SEM and SEO it is both ok. But I rather choose for SEM.
Both are different and have to own advantages so both are equally important and we can take benefits from the both the way.
Both are necessary to increase traffic because each technique has own benefit.
We can not ignore any of them as they both are very important wheras SEO makes the ranking better and SMM makes the content helpful.
I always prefer SEO than SEM since SEO is effective in internet marketing and promotes websites in active way.It brings more quality traffic and quality backlinks
you need both. can't go with one single.
I you launch a new product, business.. etc and you want to get traffic fast then SMM best because it is use for increase the traffic of your website and popular your products, business, brand and website using Social Networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn..etc. These social networking websites have huge number of users on their website, when you join them and post your links on their relevant posts, they will help to increase the traffic of your website.
If you want to get traffic for long time then SEO is best because in SEO, you post your links on other websites and they keep your links for long time, from this they help to provide the traffic for long time.
SEO and SMM both are important for doing internet marketing. As SEO is the process of improving the visibility of a website via organic or paid search results and provides you targeted traffic, on the other hand SMM promotes your website through different channels. So you have to use both techniques for increasing your website traffic.
SEO [Search Engine Optimization] and SMO [Social Media Optimization] are bigger concerns of webmaster and bloggers; both are the interrelated the only difference is that, SEO produce the organic traffic while through SMO as direct traffic from some social websites. The relation between this two as: SEO + SEM + SMO = ROI [Return on Investment]
SEO or SMM is all the good way to drive traffic ,you could do both if you can , if you want to drive traffic more quickly , paid per click is the best way ,but it have to run more capital .
Hi all,
I agree with you all. Both are good. Better you promote your sites related to social media sites like facebook, gplus, linkedin,twitter and so on. Its also an effective way...
url's deleted by Roban. No advertising. Please read the rules.
if your product is strong then you should move with SEO, if your product about services or else something about consultancy then you should move with SMM
I will prefer SEO as it helps to give organic traffic which is one of the quality traffic source on internet, so if you wan to promote your website on internet then you can prefer SEO which will help you to give quality leads and business for your company, SEO is long term process which should be done in proper way and you should give more importance to quality than any other thing in SEO.
Depends on your marketing campaign.
In fact there quite more than just SEO and SMM but on the other hand these pieces are just one whole thing.
SEO is much better because seo gives us organic traffic.
Search engine optimization and the social media optimization are just like each others they work same they both work for the same thing to promote the sides and to create more back links of the sites..

Both are important but if one to choose then i would choose SEO
For good results and most importantly lasting results, you need both, and not neglect to remember that it must be a constant work ...
Well allan, You are right. SEO or SMM is all the good way to drive traffic to website. I would like to say that adword is one of great components of driving traffic to website.
From a marketing standpoint, you can look at the benefits of SEO and social media two different ways.
First, implementing a social media marketing program without optimizing content is leaving money on the table. Useful social content (blog, video, images, audio) that cannot be discovered via search is a lost opportunity to reach an audience that is looking.
Both also important. SEO is targeted search traffic and wide range of keywords, whereby social media is more targeted referral traffic and return visitor.Quote:

Yes you are right it all depends on marketing campaign. But after all Google updates like penguin and panda SEO peoples have to change there tactics too now you can not rely on same old method from getting link from just few sources. Links from different sources now counts to get you well ranked .Quote:

You should do anything and everything you feel you can do properly in order to get traffic to your site, so both will be the best option.
SEO for long term organic traffic, in my opinion, is the more important option, but only if you get it right. SMM is fine for short term traffic, but again only if you do it right, as there's a right and wrong way to do everything in online marketing.
Hello,
I think you should doing both - SEO and SMM.
anything that can contribute to your website, should be done.
there isn't the right method, if you can do both, do it. you will only gain from it.
Like others here said, the SMM is for the short term, you can start with it. the SEO is for the long term- you should keep doing it all the time.
good luck!
SEO and SMm both are important for the business. SEO helps in identifying the targeted keywords, pageranks and visitors through google analytics. but SMM will helps to promote those things through different social media's. all SEO activities reflect in the SMM output. it may the page rank or visitors.
SMM and SEO are the techniques which helps in increasing page rank.
SMM works with promotion and engagement with fans on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, etc. And SEO directs traffic to your website through specific strategies.
Social Media Marketing Bring flow fast, but not for long
both seo and smm will helps in getting the traffic for your website. the extensive SEO activities leads to, improve the SMM activities. identifying the best keyword, meta tags, meta description, will help in bringing the site to the top of the page.

it depends on what you're trying to do. generally, when people are on facebook, they're not in the 'purchasing mindset'. social media is better for branding, SEO will get you more qualified traffic that is ready to convert.
