    I believe that as long as we have websites and search engines we will need SEM professional. The level playing field will change as and when search engines evolve but still be very much there. Search engines are bound to get smarter, but I don't see them acquiring human intelligence in the near future. So in essence they still would use indicators to rank websites and we are ones who would ensure that websites have all of these indicators featured to rank high.

    some people can get $200 per month
    some are reporting $200/hour

    depends on how much your clients are willing to pay

    if you combine it with some other related service (i.e. web design)
    then it will be some extra cash in your pocket

    You already got many replies...SEO is a safe career but you really should have knowledge about the facts and techniques used in SEO..You should be ethical in terms used for promoting any site.

    For agency or in-house posts, the average salary in the US is $55k
    http://www.simplyhired.com/a/salary/search/q-seo
    - which seems about right by my experience - London agencies offer between £16k (which is poverty wages for London and quite disgraceful) and £25k for starting positions.

    Exactly, Aaron Wall gets paid $500/hour for consultation.

    If you are that good enough with seo, why do you want to work on client sites, why not your own ?

    the thing in seo is that unless you bring a proven track of records there's no point in even starting...

    it's quite of a hard life then, lots of pressure and you have to be strongly results driven.

    I recently had an interview for a seo position, fingers crossed :confused:

    I think there are those SEO experts who add SEO to their other services, like web design etc. I'm doing the same. They aren't making money as an SEO expert, just adding to their repertoire.

    Can you make good money with SEO. Yes, you have to spend a lot of time reading and working to get ahead. But you can. There are a lot of niches. But as logic denotes, it will get harder and harder. Get in now!
