Hi there,
What is the difference between Search Engine Optimization and Website Promotion?
Are they the same?

I think both are same. SEO contains on page seo and off page seo and website promotion can be done through seo...

Simple answer- a good ranking in Google, Yahoo, MSN and the other major search engines for your keywords.A good ranking results when someone enters words into a major search engine and their search results indicate a good match to your site.

In all facts of online marketing including: search engine optimization and positioning, strategic plans, marketing, detailed tracking and more.Online marketing demands not only successful search engine and directory positioning; it also requires accurate measurement of your web site traffic, with continuous analysis of that traffic to identify new opportunities.

I've always thought of them as two different things that share the same goal.

Website Promotion generally includes a short term incentive to join the website, such as a contest or promotion.  SEO is optimizing your website for search engines and doing your best to drive traffic over the long term through search engines.
