In-House SEO Salary Survey

SEMPO finally released the results of its first-ever In-House SEO Salary Survey. There were 656 completed surveys, which yielded these results:

64% of the respondents have five years or less SEM experience.
26% of respondents held Manager titles (though did not necessarily manage direct reports)
SEO Manager compensation clustered in the $60,000 to $90,000 range.
One-fifth of the salary survey’s respondents were either senior managers or directors with salaries in the range of $70,000 to $100,000 a year.

This survey shows tighter ranges (and gives a better idea of what a “normal” person can expect) than the SEOmoz salary survey from late 2006.
