Learn Search Marketing from the Pros at SEMPO Institute

Increase your career opportunities in the growing Search Marketing sector


 
Whether you are a novice or on your way to becoming an expert, Search Marketing continues to offer numerous career opportunities.

$18.6 Billion will be spent on Search Marketing during 2011. This represents an industry that will double in 5 years. With such growth there is an enormous need for knowledgeable people. And companies are willing to pay for that knowledge. A recent SEMPO survey shows that more than 50% of new SEM professionals (3 or less years of experience) working “in-house” make annual salaries of $50,000 or more.

Search Engine Marketing is a complex and constantly changing discipline. Because of this complexity, serious training is required to do it right.

SEMPO Institute collaborated with more than 35 of the leading professionals to meet the challenge of teaching Search Marketing. A group of seasoned search professionals peer-reviewed the online and self-paced courses to make sure you receive the best training available.

Also, the leading search engines, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft, sponsor SEMPO and thus SEMPO Institute is able to tap into their knowledge. In fact, Microsoft announced an education alliance with SEMPO Institute, in which personnel from 20,000 affiliates of the MSN search engine will have access to SEMPO Institute’s online learning program.
