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?

I am in-house
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?

@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) :))

In-house is so... boring

In House - Agencies are Drama

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%)

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.

Choosing an SEO Company
Hi Guys, My first question for the forum. So here's my question, everyone in here has something to do with seo, but how would you choose an seo company. There are many a wild claim made by so many companies. Having done seo on our portfolio for about 6 years, however now I just dont have the time to spend. In my initial inquires I have asked for examples of their work and run a back link analysis to see the kind of links they have been building for their clients but so far all I have found is a load of directory links and no real innovation. I would be interested in your thoughts of how to sound out some companies. Thanks Alex

SEO-contests like “hochgeschwindigkeitsSEO” worldwide?
In Germany people out of the SEO industry seem to love SEO contests - the latest one being to bring up the keyword “hochgeschwindigkeitsSEO” on Pos. 1 on Google until a set time (contest entry example here). There obviously is a price (newest iPhone) and a sponsor (Randolf Jorberg), but for the most part it's a contest which holds the Olympic thought: Being there just means most of it 🙂 So I was wondering: are there any other countries where such contests are being held? I have not heard of any examples and I am quite curious if any other SEO communites out there have something similar going on 🙂
