I just went back and reviewed exactly what I wrote. I stated "One main reason is that the best search engine marketers don’t stay working for employers (or clients)." You're right. That was written a bit extreme. I probably should have used a word like "normally" or "typically" or "most of the best". That would have been more accurate. Thanks Jon. Good call. Yea, I agree.

Too general. Some SEO's would rather do SEO than a full business, which any "side project" truly is... not just SEO but typically a business of some sort. Dealing with suppliers, customers, etc. Otherwise though, very good information and very good thoughts. I will agree that finding a good SEO - especially on a budget - is a very tough task. Another idea - hire a top-shelf consulting firm to develop an action plan for your and then hire someone or block off someone's time in-house to go about carrying out the plan. You'll save 75% + in the cost and still ensure the right items are done. Yeah I’ll post formal issue with the “the best SEO’s do side projects and not consulting for clients” claim there.
