Lotte Mahon, marketing manager at Neutralize (**) (http://www.neutralize.com) said:
"The number of respondents this year has already surpassed last year which is fantastic and there's still time to get involved with the survey and to obtain a free copy of the report if you haven't already. We are really looking forward to seeing the compiled results and producing the 2008 report. Last year's results offered a unique insight into UK Search Engine Marketing and the report received a wealth of positive feedback."

- On average, company respondents said that they spent 32% of their total marketing budget on online marketing. On average, they spent a third of their online marketing budget on Search
- Overall, respondents said that SEO (http://http://www.neutralize.com/search-engine-optimisation/) was more important than PPC in terms of impact on brand.
- Google was viewed as the best search engine across a range of criteria. However, half of respondents believed that Google had an unhealthy dominance of the UK search marketplace.
- According to company respondents, lack of internal resource was the biggest problem preventing success for both Paid Search and SEO (natural search).
