PORTLAND, Ore. (March 19, 2012) – Anvil Media, Inc., a search engine, social media and mobile marketing agency, announced today it was listed in Website Magazine’s Top 50 Search Marketing (SEM) Agencies List. The nomination comes on the heels of Anvil’s recent acceptance into the running for the 2012 Inc. 500|5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.

Website Magazine’s Top 50 Search Marketing Agencies List, published in the March 2012 edition, ranked Anvil Media 38 of 50. Website Magazine’s Top 50 rankings are a measure of a website’s popularity. Rankings are calculated using a proprietary method that focuses on average daily unique visitors and page views over a specified period of time, as reported by multiple data sources.

“Anvil’s vision is to be the most respected search marketing agency in the world, so it’s always a pleasure to receive third party validation in this regard,” stated Hallie Janssen, CEO of Anvil Media. “It’s an honor to be among the world’s largest SEM agencies on this list.”

While Anvil is more of a boutique search marketing agency, the focus on education has led to development of an extensive Resources section, including white papers, articles, webinars and blog posts. This content is likely a key factor in driving significant traffic to the website, contributing to the top 50 ranking.
