The Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO), www.sempo.org, today announced it is launching its first ever salary survey of in-house search engine marketing professionals. The survey is open to all in-house SEM professionals whether or not they are currently SEMPO members. Organic and/or paid-search, in-house professionals are all invited to take the survey.

The 20-question survey can be accessed at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=DZCiIcuGHhZtJqv7NrjTrQ_3d_3d

Respondents have anonymity when taking the survey. SEMPO is running the survey through October and possibly will continue it into November. Results of the survey will be published in November.

Among the data trends SEMPO hopes to gauge are the overall salary range of SEM jobs, from entry level to executive; salary variations by geographic markets, the total compensation package beyond salaries, such as bonuses, benefits and perks; SEM staffing levels within enterprises, and SEM budget levels.

This will make the search marketing community aware of their minimum expected salary. Great initiative by SEMPO.

Thank you for your survey. I will wait for one more month to get the result. Any way good luck.

Very cool, I just moved to LA and am considering several opportunities, but it looks like all SEM employers want to know my salary expectations. This is such a difficult thing, on one hand I want the job, any job at the moment, on the other I want to make sure they pay me what I am worth so that I am not tempted to change 6 months from now. Thanks for the help.

Wow, I never knew that SEMPO Releases In House SEM Salary Survey. That's pretty interesting...
