I'm looking to find out what kind of money professional SEO’s are making these days. Not looking for people to brag about what their making but i'm wondering about a rough estimate. Also what kind of pay difference is there between PPC managers versus organic SEO's. To top it all off do people think we're getting too little or too much?

I think it depends on your location - geography always plays a factor - but anywhere from 70k to 120k sounds right to me.

full time job? freelancer?
Depends on so many factors. How much experience you have, client testimonials, referrals, how much skill and success you've had, etc etc.

That would depend on what you produce.

I was offered 90k if I would move to Florida. So it could range. I'm in mid 50's now but have a very chill work environment. The top SEO firms pay peanuts. SEO Inc. pays $12 to $16 per hour. And for SEO firms, thats about average. Marketing firms are geared more to pay better, with the ability to get more personal with the client. Dealing with clients direct, I find on average $12k for a years contract is very market friendly.

That’s kinda like saying how much to repair a car... How much depends on what needs to be done...
I myself like a flat rate rather than a basic hourly rate... mind you the flat rate is based on an hourly rate plus overhead and buffer time (because they will always throw you a curve ball at the last second)
If you are the manager of SEM doing some serious stuff for a large or medium company ... you should expect something in the range of 50-80k per year...
SoHo or being a grunt in a SEM firm ... probably in the range of 15-20 per hour depending on experience and duties involved....
I would give yourself a good wage per hour and add about 30% on top of that then figure out how many hours to complete the project per month and charge away...
It’s a hard question to ask considering all the variables included
Good Luck

My company charges $100 an hour. Of course they don't pay me anywhere near that much but this work environment is so relaxed (everyone is under 30 years old) it beats the corporate suit and tie programming job I had for a Fortune 500 company by a mile.

JakeJeck,
The rule of thumb (as I learned it) is this:
Of your billed time, in your case, $100 per hour, 1/3 goes to you (payroll), 1/3 covers the cost of doing business (lights, telephones...), 1/3 goes to the company (to be reinvested in R&D, stock payouts, or more likely, goes to the boss.)
One need not be under 30 to be relaxed. A few of us old crusty bastards still got our mojo. And hair.
