I did notice higher salaries on some of the salary tools for San Francisco, vs. general.  Scary to see they’ve gone down so much since last time I check.  Hopefully the economy is coming back like they’re saying & we’ll see salaries bounce back…

I've been looking for an update to the salary information for awhile, and I like the breakdown of roles/competencies that are required of an in-house SEO... useful even for me, and I am one!Just anecdotally, the salary figures seem correct but a bit low by Bay Area standards anyway, but maybe my own experience is selective. It seems some of the things Ive seen floating around from recruiters or peers lately for in-house SEO/SEM combined positions have been in the low-to-mid 100ks. This is great.
