            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?

                                    1. I'm a freelancer to big agencies (30%)

                                    2. I do consulting under my own brand (69.8%)

                                    3. I work on my own sites (.2%)

                                    Makes me look like I go by every SEO opportunities. Call me easy, but call me maybe...

                                      @all: Are you happy with the position you currently have ? (in house, agency or working on your own projects).

                                      Or are you stuck but you would like to move ? (from in house to agency, from agency to in house and so on )

                                      Really curious about the level of "happiness" with current positions in the community - and again, it's mainly about the Q and A community as I've seen a lot of activity on the blog from people that are not present here..
