When I started my agency, it started out as an organic SEO shop. Soon I realized that there were quite a lot of people who were consulting with organizations large and small about how to optimize their own sites and properties, there were black, gray, and white hat strategies who were offering e-books and conferences, training, and services to the point that the market was getting crowded, I was outclassed, and SEO and SEM were threatening to become a commodity, resulting in lower prices and a competition to the bottom. Besides, back in late 2006 (and as late as 2009), Search Engine Optimization was considered to be snake oil, especially since Google was obviously omnipresent and had compensated for silly things such as ALT, Description, and Meta tags, right?
