The demand for qualified SEO professionals is booming in Australia.  Many agencies are looking for experienced professionals, but cannot find the right people.  SEO companies are also forced to advertise jobs targeted at IT professionals or marketing professionals offering them to be trained as SEOs. Recruitment agencies are also fighting to attract qualified SEO applicants as the offer is limited. 

The good thing if you are a SEO consultant is that the salaries are risings.  Earlier this year, The Australian has published and article quoting huge salaries for qualified SEO consultants.  These figures seem to be a little bit over-exagerated, but they demonstrate that wages are rising in Australia. 

Looking at our UK cousin, the same trend can be identified.  According to UK IT Jobs Watch the average salary for SEO Professionals has increased by more than 10% in the last 3 months compared to the same period last year.  The current salariy is £31,947 per year, which is the highest level since 2004. 

Due to the high demand and the strong growth rate of the SEO/SEM industry the salaries are expected to increase at a similar rate in the next 6 months.  So if you are considering changing job, do not be shy and negociate...
