The Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) is conducting sixth annual industry-wide survey to assess the economy’s effect on year-to-year online marketing spending and investigate new trends.
The survey is open to all search engine marketing (SEM) managers and professionals working in an agency or in-house corporate position. Participants do not need to be SEMPO members. Log on to http://bit.ly/SEMPO-search to participate.
In addition to the organic search optimization and paid search areas, this year’s survey addresses social media as a component of search engine marketing.
