    This really is a bad time for job hunting, especially for those who don't have any work experience. But the first job would be very important to your whole career life. You should decide if you really love this job. As I know, your IT background would make your seo learning more deeper than people who don't have IT skills.

    SEO is a big decision that can potentially improve site and save time.

    SEO involves in

    * Review of site content or structure
    * Technical advice on website development: for example, hosting, redirects, error pages, use of JavaScript
    * Content development
    * Management of online business development campaigns
    * Keyword research
    * SEO Modules updating of training
    * Expertise in specific markets and geographies.

    SEO is a profession that can be practiced while working for a company or as a solo practitioner. There are many job-boards like Dice and Craigslist, if you are in India subcontinent naukri(com) monster that publish SEO job advertisements. It is worth noting that the compensation for SEO employees is equal to or even higher than that of developers, designers and marketers. Salaries over $80K (In India 25K+) per annum are not an exception for SEO jobs. Good SEO/ Consultant is Getting $ 200-500 per hour

    Only Web-Designing MAY NOT be enough for promoting stuff hence SEO is required. as every one is looks for organic search only an SEO builds it.

    An Opposite face of SEO :)

    Dependent on search engines, Search engines frequently change their algorithms and what is worse – these changes are not made public, so even the greatest SEO gurus admit that they make a lot of educated guesses about how things work
    No fixed rules as everything is uncertain
    Mushrooming of Novice SEO also degrades the Marketing rules
    Rapid changes in rankings
    An SEO requires complete Patience as ranking may takes place in when it is not certain, we must update the dynamic content in regular orders, and dont touch the static pages.
    Spamming also responsible to degrading value of an SEO.

    well, I'm currently working as in online marketing and my duties also involve SEO. Companies are starting now employing seo consultants in europe but I see loads of people with minimal knowledge just trying to jump on the bandwagon...

    hopefully in the future it'll be a more serious thing, right now I prefer to focus on sem and general online marketing.

    good luck!

    You can do seo no matter what your language level is - if it poor, you would probably be ok with link exchange, if it is good - you will be able to do on-site optimization as well.

    It is good to jump in to seo field if you really didn't get a job in Programming field. Bcoz, seo is good but sometime some people feel boring.

    Yes, SEO is interesting but only those should enter in it who can fight with the competition consistently.

    Get some basic knowledge about it and you can do it easily because you are an IT engineer and your technical knowledge will be helpful a lot.

    I have also completed engineering in computer and today i have more than one year of experience in SEO field.

    According to me, lots of sites in different areas are developed today. But to take and keep your site position best on internet is the fundamental necessary for any site. Because you can get better traffic, visitors, ranking and business only through this SEO not only by developing site.

    So, SEO is really best for carrier and without any doubt its future is also bright.

    Good luck for whatever you choose..:)

    My advice is, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

    I have been working in SEO for 6 years now, but I leave my mind open and thrive to learn other skills.
    SEO industry is fluorishing now, but who knows in 4-5 years what might happen?

    In this day and age no industry has guarantee to be around for many years. The world's moving too fast, so i don't take anything for granted.

    I suggest that you grab this opportunity and learn everything you can about SEO, but be ready to jump onto another boat if things ever change.

    Hi friend,

    In my opinion you should work as a SEO. You know its a recession period, there is no much opportunity for job, if you have this opportunity then grab it. You are an IT engg graduate then you have to learn this technology and SEO techniques. Because, today clients seem to be mostly interested in Google, Yahoo, AOL and MSN. This limits the databases we have to work with. This makes the job of an SEO much harder, and more frustrating. It's just not as easy as it used to be to get high rankings. Best of luck for your bright future as a SEO.

    HI...I am also an IT engineer doing SEO. See don't imagine SEO just as Submitting promotion things on internet. Even more I would forcefully suggest software engineers to join SEO field as they can easily understand the flow of algorithm and the changing nature of algorithm as well. A little of dedication with lots of R & D will make the leader so easily. Don't underestimate yourself mate, it is a good indication given by your fortune to join SEO. Just go for it...
