Thanks for the answer Marie. That is true about the SEO in the middle who can talk the talk and can get away sounding like a pro. It's also true that many small businesses, especially those online, have little budget but have the desire, if not the need, to rank and just can't afford big budgets, so they are at the mercy of the cheaper SEOs.

RE: Are businesses still hiring SEO that use strategies that could lead to a Google penalty?
Yes. Serious SEOs have the analytics to show business their worth, showing that SEO is more than just keyword research etc etc. However, many there has been a rise in small online business opening with little budget. Online start ups can be up and running with little budget. They are creating the demand for low quality SEO providing links but not earning them.

Are businesses still hiring SEO that use strategies that could lead to a Google penalty?
Is anyone worried that businesses know so little about SEO that they are continuing to hire SEO consultants that use strategies that could land the website with a Google penalty? I ask because we did some research with businesses and found the results worrying: blog farms, over optimised anchor text. We will be releasing the data later this week, but wondered if it something for the SEO community to worry about and what can be done about it.
