Are you an in-house SEO or an Agency/freelancer SEO ?
-
Really curios about the pie split on SEO MOZ community about this.
So, are you an In-house SEO or an Agency / Freelancer SEO ?
(personally as prediction I would say in-House SEOs are predominant here - just curios to see the ratio - although not sure how many SEO MOZ members are reviewing the Q and A area but again it will be nice to see the ratio of the in house vs agency that are spending time on Q and A's).
-
It looks like around 40% users here in SEOMOz are in fact agencies.. based on what Rand said in todays WBF: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/conducting-market-research-before-investing-in-tactical-execution-whiteboard-friday

Working for agency and in my free time - freelancer

Call me crazy, but I would rather keep all the profits for myself
-
Seo is a marathon, not a race. One client leads to others! Keep up the good work!

Agency..... In house is for those who can't handle the heat... Cesar

in house but only had one paying client so far deciding whether to keep going in house or go with an agency time will tell!!
-
Freelancer. Some days I wish I was in an agency though. On the other hand, when the wind is behind you there is no better way to be! (IMHO of course).
-
I'm in-house, and SEO wasn't originally part of my job description.
Basically, anything online is now my domain. I'm sure I'm not the only one who prefers to control all aspects of online presence?

Level of happiness - 9.0 out of 10
Desire to experience the agency side of life: 7.0 out of 10
What would it take to get me to move from one to the other? - $30K above my current salary (which isn't really that high)
Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

The biggest revenu is coming from # 3?

@Catalyst Online: So you you've seen how green the grass is on both sides of the fence. So Is Cesar or Robert that's right ? (drama vs boring) :))
-
Agency,
In-house is so... boring
Back at ya Cesar

In House - Agencies are Drama

Agency SEO but have worn all hats.

Agency

@all: Are you happy with the position you currently have ? (in house, agency or working on your own projects).
Or are you stuck but you would like to move ? (from in house to agency, from agency to in house and so on )
Really curious about the level of "happiness" with current positions in the community - and again, it's mainly about the Q and A community as I've seen a lot of activity on the blog from people that are not present here..

I'm a freelancer to big agencies (30%)
-
I do consulting under my own brand (69.8%)
-
I work on my own sites (.2%)
Makes me look like I go by every SEO opportunities. Call me easy, but call me maybe...

-
In-house for my own sites and freelance for local firms.
-
I've got all boxed ticked - I'm inhouse a couple of days a week, I occasionally freelance and I've also started on my first serious niche site effort to learn faster and make an extra buck. Wonder how many more multi-role people are here?
-
In-house and freelance in spare time
-
In-house. I think a nice follow-up question for agencies/freelancers would be how they work with clients marketing-/technical teams to improve SEO (and how do you overcome organisation barriers in this case).
I always found that SEO agencies (at least in South Africa) work too removed from clients and rather focus on link-building without any measurable metrics.

haha, with your quality standard, calling it both agency & in-house is probably something the community would let slide
-
Agency.

While the SEOmoz industry survey states that the majority of us are in-house, it seems that the individuals who work for agencies and the entrepreneurs are the most active in this community, especially as far as blog posts go. I was shocked to learn the real ratio.
I'm in-house, by the way.

SEO Guidelines for Partner Links
We decided to follow an aggressive strategy with cross linking. We have cross linked all all the 6 different brands just above the header of a News Portal. You could see what i mean here www.in.gr
Industry News | | DOLdatacenter
Do you think that i should enable the nofollow so as not to get penalized by Google. We tend to use the same cross network linking scheme (in the header) for all branded sites. Google’s guidance on link schemes doesn’t specifically address these types of partner links, which don’t really fit the mold for “excessive link exchanging.” Thoughts appreciated.0 -
Redirecting International ccTLD affect SEO?
I've watched Rand's Whiteboard Friday video on How to Host and Where to Host for International Websites and read Gianluca's article on International SEO; however, I am still unable to find an answer or solution to this. ABC Company is a US based company with the website www.abcexample.com and plans to target people in Hong Kong. Therefore, they purchase .hk ccTLD. However, with the time restraint and budget limit, ABC Company is unable to create a completely new website under .hk ccTLD. Scenario 1: ABC Company plans to create different pages for each service offered in HK and 302 redirect .hk ccTLD blank service page to www.abcexample.com's same service page. Quesiton 1: Will this have the same benefit of creating a .hk website? Although ABC Company is redirecting, does the .hk ccTLD still tell Serach Engines that we are targeting people in Hong Kong? Will this solution harm or help with SEO with other search engines in Hong Kong? Scenario 2: ABC creates a /hk subdirectory under www.abcexample.com and have exactly same content in the same language as www.abcexample.com but use rel="alternate" hreflang="x" and use Webmaster to Geotarget Hong Kong. Question 2: By using rel="alternate" hreflang="x" and geotarget, will this avoid duplicate content if ABC Company has exact content in the /hk folder? Please let me know if my questions and scenarios are unclear. I understand that these are not best practices. Please advise the best way to work around this. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I have been attending Pubcon for almost a decade now. I have missed only 1 or 2 in the last 9 years. This year, I was considering to go to Mozcon and SMX Advanced, but the dates did not work out for me. Next year I am not missing either of these conferences. For this year, if I was to attend one of the following, which one do folks recommend (I would love to know the 1st hand experiences, comparisons): http://www.pubcon.com/

What is your Biggest SEO selling point to prospective clients?
Typically, our SEO questions are around "how to's" and etc. So, to change it up I will ask a business question: What is your biggest selling point when presenting your SEO services to a new client? In a spirit of transparency, I will tell you mine ahead of time. With PPC, TV, Radio, and Print at some point in time that ad comes to an end. When it ends, that is it. There is no residual from that advertisement - or very minimal at best. With SEO, once you are ranked well and well optimized you continue to get clients for a much longer period of time. With clients who TV and print, this rings especially true and is easily provable. I can't wait to hear yours.
