Although wikipedia gives them both very similar definitions they are slightly different and as trends and strategies change those definitions will continue to change. In way they are both just buzz words being used by alot of Companies to show that they are knowledgeable in the social media niche of online marketing.
Social Media Optimization for me is more about optimizing a social media page about a website, brand, company, etc. to maximize their exposure both organically through followers, shared content, and in the eyes of search engines. The latter being sometimes a concern if my Company isn't involved in the marketing strategies of the website itself as we have had Clients Social Media sites outrank their own website in the SERPs. The goal with SMO is really to drive as much traffic to the conversion point as possible.
Social Media Marketing for me is two fold; the first is working with Clients to develop and effectively manage PPC advertising programs on the social media channel(s) that are most likely to have the highest ROI for that Client. The second part of SMM for me is actually convincing social media users that the product, service, Company, etc. is actually being presented to them through a reliable/trustworthy source and not directly from the Company. Basically taking a bandwagon approach to try and generate new leads, or in layman terms: if all my friends are doing this, then maybe I should be too! Which then equals more leads = more conversions.
Davey Winder just made an excellent post about a week ago on how he sees Social Media Optimization; its worth a good read and I'm sure by using google you could find a ton of other resources to help guide you:
