SEO Jobs

If you're hunting for SEO jobs, that is, jobs in the search engine optimization field, there are many employment searching options available.

Not surprisingly, most SEO professionals start with Google and other search engines. Just like searching jobs in London or Las Vegas jobs, starting at a search engine of choice is a great place to find a variety of job sites, associations, blogs and other destinations to checkout SEO job postings.

In addition to the typical job board or vertical job search engine to utilize in your job search, checking out blogs with jobs is a newer, interesting way to find employment as an SEO.

For example, well-known blogger of all-things-search, Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim has jobs posted for search engine marketers. No doubt, as bloggers look for ways to build revenue, adding job content is an easy way to do so.

Also, as previously stated, association sites can be an effective way to search for SEO jobs. For example, SEMPO, or the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization, has job listings for SEO's. That's a good resource.

In the future, I would be surprised to see other traditional resources sprout up to help link SEO pros with employers and search marketing agencies. Two examples come to mind:

  1. Magazine. The Search Marketing Standard is a magazine dedicated to search marketers. Adding job content seems like a natural fit. To my knowledge, they don't currently provide this.
  2. Conferences. Search Engine Strategies, or SES, would be a great venue to help SEO professionals find jobs. Setting up a job fair or enabling agencies and employers to advertise jobs would be great for attendees and vendors alike.
In all, the search marketing landscape is sure to become more competitive as more companies look to leverage search engines to drive traffic. Getting SEO and employer together is going to be vital to make that engine go.



Recruiting is marketing. Try jobcasting.

Hi Jim,

The Search Marketing Standard Magazine does have the SEO jobs section, both online and in print (starting from the Spring 07 issue that just came out).
