The Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) has launched the 2nd Annual In-House SEM Salary survey to determine whether the economy is having an impact on compensation for search engine marketers or the SEM profession can weather the storm better than other sectors.

Survey data will provide insight into salary data, compensation packages, changes in SEM staff levels within enterprises, and SEM budgets. The 22-question survey is open to all in-house search engine marketing professionals, whether they work in organic and/or paid search positions. Membership in SEMPO is not required to participate. All responses are anonymous.

The survey runs until Feb. 20 with plans to announce the findings in March. To take the survey, go to: http://www.sempo.org/learning_center/in-house_survey_0901.--Laurie Sullivan
