		<description>The women will more go each time if to show ahead of the Internet. Its intelligence and agility in finding details are fantastic, therefore many agencies already count on women in its team of work, proving that it is an excellent investment.

		<description>Hi Danny-
Such a timely writing, as my Click article on Monday is dedicated to this topic.
I agree with you about search engine MARKETING (as a whole) has generous representation for both genders. But I disagree about search engine OPTIMIZATION.
IMHO,a truly qualified search engine optimization professional has technical as well as creative skills. And when I train companies on SEO? The content people tend to be female, and the IT folks tend to be male. Anecdotal observation, I realize, but it brings me to my point.
There are not enough women in the information retrieval industry with technical skills, and though you have been quite wonderful to me and many of the other speakers, I have alwalys found it frustrating to be on technical or advanced panels with few women. Thank goodness for Vanessa Fox and other female Googlers who have appeared on panels.
I understand why you and Rebecca at Clickz made that observation. From my perspective? I am often the only female (or 1 of 2 females) in a technical setting, both business and academic.
So maybe the SEM field as a whole is well represented for gender. But SEO? I don&#039;t think so. We need more women with technical skills.
