SEO Salaries, How Much Search Marketers Earn
Rand Fishkin, in another excellent example of link bait done right, just published a post guaranteed to generate links from people within the SEO industry: he outlines how much SEOs should expect to make a year. This kind of info oft searched and seldom found.
According to the post, in-house SEO practitioners can expect to make:
- VP/Director of Search Marketing: $100,000 - $350,000+
- Director/Manager of Organic Search: $75,000 - $150,000
- SEO Guru: $75,000 - $200,000
- Campaign Manager: $55,00 - $100,000
- SEO Specialist: $40,000 - $80,000
- SEO Director: $50,000 - $100,000
- Search Marketing Consultant: $60,000 - $200,000
- Link Builder: $35,000 - $100,000
- Content Writer: $35,000 - $75,000
- SEO Researcher: $30,000 - $60,000
- Client Relations Coordinator: $35,000 - $75,00
And, no, I don't make nearly as much as you think I make. But I'm open to negotiations. ;)
Update:
SEMPO released its own survey of in-house SEO salaries in January 2008.
