I work for a marketing firm who specializes in website that have been optimized for search engines. I am thinking of becoming an exclusive 'search engine optimizer' but am wondering if this is too broad of a category. Can one specialize in this and make a decent living? Thank you to anyone who answers with good advice!

It's definitely a possible career and can be very lucrative. The only thing is you have to prove how good you are before you get the big paychecks. If you have a few sites with great search engine rankings it will help your credibility and a good search engine ranking is valuable. If you can prove yourself you can have clients paying you top dollar.

It's a possible career, but a very narrow area to look for a job. If you already have a job doing this and keep it, you can probably make a very good living, but I'd guess that isn't what you are asking.Working for a company that markets optimized search engines is very different from being the person, or a part of the group, that does the optimizing.

As a search engine optimization specialist myself, I can clearly tell you that you can make a decent living with seo.You can be your own boss or join a seo company,its all up to you. - Good Luck!
