Group Cites Strength of Search Marketing and over $100 Million Search Marketing Spend in Dallas/Fort Worth
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DALLAS, Jul 10, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — The board of the Dallas/Fort Worth Search Engine Marketing Association (DFWSEM) is perplexed at the recent announcement that Google would soon close its Dallas sales location.
“Bottom line, North Texas is a great place to do search engine marketing. We believe it’s the best place in the country to do search marketing,” said Tony Wright, Vice-President and spokesman for DFWSEM. “According to our internal survey at DFWSEM, our members represent more than $100 million spent annually in search engine advertising, and much of that money goes to Google. And while our membership is large, it’s only a fraction of the actual amount being spent or allocated from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I just don’t think the guys in Mountain View have ever been to Dallas and don’t know what they are missing.” Read the rest of this entry »
