[Blog.freshegg.com] : Fresh Egg’s Internet Marketing & Web Design Blog: This then, is the SEM charlatan.  Prescribing his snake-oil treatments with no knowledge of the real state of things to anyone who may be fooled by a bombastic confident approach.  While I believe many of the charlatans actually believe in their potions, (and the nonsense and old-wives tales they base them on), to my mind that only makes it all the worse in terms of how little they know, and what idiotic harm they can bring both to our industry, and to their poor, ill-informed clients.
