			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEMPO&#8217;s 2007 State of Search Engine Marketing Survey is open for participation. This is an opportunity for everyone who uses search as a marketing channel to share opinions and expertise and the results provide some insights into where the industry is, how it has grown, how it is expected to grow, as well as future industry trends. The survey is conducted by Radar Research.</p>
<p>We had the opportunity to get involved with the team at <a href="http://www.sempo.ca">SEMPO Canada</a> who have played an important role in getting more Canadian-specific content in this year&#8217;s survey. Once the study is completed, SEMPO Canada plans to use the results to provide a better assessment of the state of the Search Marketing Market in Canada. We&#8217;re looking forward to the results and discussing them in this blog!</p>
<p>We invite you to take a few (25) minutes of your time to complete the survey. Besides being an opportunity to voice your opinion and having first dibs on the summarized results ahead of everyone, you could win: a 8GB iPod Touch and/or 1 free pass to a North American Search Engine Strategies (SES) event.</p>
<p>The survey will close on February 1, 2008.</p>
<p><a href="http://www6.intellisurvey.com/run/sempo2007">Get started with the survey</a> and let us know what you think.</p>
