What's an average/normal salary for a paid search marketer (i.e., with AdWords, Yahoo, etc.) with three years of experience? I work at a small digital agency in NYC. Thanks!

May or may not be relevant, since it's a different country. Might help give you a benchmark.

When I worked for a small digital agency nk the UK doing exactly that, junior to mid-level account managers were on a salary between £28,000 and £32,000.

Assuming New York and London salaries/costs are comparable, that's between $43,700 and $50,000.

While I haven't worked purely on ppc per se, it has always been part of my job and I know plenty of others who do that exclusively. Low 40's to 50k sounds about right and of course that varies heavily based on a few factors such as:

- Whether you are working agency or client side
- Size of agency/company
- Number of accounts managed
- Responsibilities (you'd be shocked how much they vary from company to company)
- Track record (you can demand more if you are a rock star)
