I get headhunters calling me at my present job asking if I'd be interested in an open position somewhere else all the time. Money's good when your experience makes a big business tons of money, but when you're learning the ropes by experimentation and floundering experience, the money isn't there.

If SEO popularity was determined by the attendance size of the different big SEO conferences each year, they just keep growing and multiplying. Companies send people from all parts of the world to these things. SES is like a rock concert now, get in late and you stand in back having to watch a screen to see who's on stage. 9 years ago less than 25 people squeezed into one little room.


You realize you didn't answer the question...

How are leads in San Francisco Bay Area? Is is like fly infested cottage -- fly to flypaper or fishing in a barrel that has no water?

I didn't? Whoops.

I'd say Adwords experts are even more popular than organic specialists and they most offen get offered the really big money in the San Francisco Bay Area... or at least there are more job offers for them. (Maybe because the job is sooooooo boring <imho> there is a lot of turn over?)

The UK in general is growing in awareness but most of the people I meet think seo is a pop band

There are a few over-aggressive tele-marketing and email spam merchants who have done much to harm the market and nothing to help it because they have no clue about seo and pepetuate all the old rubbish - eg: "We'll submit your site to over 50,000 search engines a day and get you hundreds of top 10 rankings in a month, or your money back"

Small town in Michigan.
I was subcontracting for another web developer in my hometown. They wanted me to become a partner. I declined. The next month, they were advertising SEO for $40 a month.

Even web developers in my area do not know what SEO is and the work it requires.

I'm from Philippines and most Web developers/designers discuss about it and I also wonder what is it all about and I am happy that through this forum I learn SEO bit by bit.
