To the poor clients, some of the biggest DK’s are the most convincing salespeople!

I'm glad you enjoyed the post - I'm getting lots good of feedback on it. The reality is that there are too many people out there, who honestly believe that 12-24 months search engine experience makes them an expert. This is unfortunately not even close to the case. I've had employees joining and within 3 months, they believe they know everything, so I understand first hand how this syndrome works. For those of you who are experts of your own domain, I'm sure this rings true to most any other subject matter. True insight and experience takes many years, not months to perfect, and using service providers that are "new" to the game for any business, is risky. Thanks everyone.
