        While the SEOmoz industry survey states that the majority of us are in-house, it seems that the individuals who work for agencies and the entrepreneurs are the most active in this community, especially as far as blog posts go. I was shocked to learn the real ratio.

        I'm in-house, by the way.

            haha, with your quality standard,  calling it both agency & in-house is probably something the community would let slide 😃

                      In-house for my own sites and freelance SEO mainly to local businesses. I'm actually more interested in writing software so will be delving into SEO software next.

                      I couldn't tell from your profile, which are you? Nice to meet you Eyepaq.

                                      In-house. I think a nice follow-up question for agencies/freelancers would be how they work with clients marketing-/technical teams to improve SEO (and how do you overcome organisation barriers in this case).

                                      I always found that SEO agencies (at least in South Africa) work too removed from clients and rather focus on link-building without any measurable metrics.

                                          I've got all boxed ticked - I'm inhouse a couple of days a week, I occasionally freelance and I've also started on my first serious niche site effort to learn faster and make an extra buck. Wonder how many more multi-role people are here?
