There are three surveys underway right now for the search engine marketing industry looking for participation. SEMPO and SEOmoz are both running surveys to collect data on the search marketing industry, while the SEMMYS are a more fun look at search marketing articles up for awards.

SEMPO’s 2007 State of the Market Survey is open and taking your responses up until February 1st. SEMPO’s surveys are used throughout the industry and beyond by analysts, editors, internally by SEM companies, and more. You can win an iPhone and free tickets to an SES event if you complete the survey. Please make an effort to take the survey by clicking here.

SEOmoz is also holding an SEO Industry Survey. I personally filled this survey out yesterday, and the questions were not that redundant to the SEMPO survey. This survey combined with the SEMPO survey can really give our industry some great insight into how we work as an aggregate. If you complete this survey, you can also win an iPhone or a $400 gift certificate to Amazon.com. Take the survey by clicking here. You have about two weeks to complete the 51-questions and the results will be published by March 11, 2008.

Finally, today is the last day to vote for the SEMMYS. Head over to the SEMMYS and vote for your favorite search related articles of 2007.
