I'm so sick of these people

None of the smaller SEM/SEO companies in my area do work on organic search results. It just really pisses me off to see companies trying to lead sponsored results campaigns on low-volume keywords when it's obviously more cost effective in the long run to go organic. Does this bother anyone else here or is this just a senseless rant?

People do what makes them a buck, and there is, IMHO, more slime inthis industry than there was in New York City at the end of Ghostbusters.

But there are plenty of good SEOs that really do SEO, not PPC SEM. You might try posting a request in the SEO Professionals section or PM me with what you are looking for and I'll try to point you in the right direction.

The difficulty is that site owners looking for SEO assistance want immediate results. They are making the market for the quick SEO results mindset. Only those site owners that understand the true lasting value of natural or organic SEO have the patience and wisdom to walk the long-term path. Many of those wanting to make money doing SEO look to where a dollar can be made relatively quickly. Guess where that is?
