I think the feeding frenzy is helpful to SEO firms in as much as it brings clients looking for direction who have a realistic grasp of what their own goals are and what their site/brand could achieve for various keywords or markets. It’s when they shoot for Mars with no rover that trouble comes.

It is a mystery to me why some organizations – large ones at that – almost seem scared to pay attention to organic search. Is is because they have heard some sort of buzz that it is a bunch of ne’er do wells with handles that “hack” the search engines?

Or are the senior decision makers are just slow to respond to something they were not taught in school, back in the day before search engines?

>61% of companies plan to manage 100% of SEO on their own .

I am sure that more companies will start handle their seo effort internally. The only reason it took while to do so is that seo was a foreign concept to many of them. The same thing happened with IT, marketing and advertising projects. In each of these areas, many companies have their own internal staff to handle some of the work but they still have to rely on external companies for some of the projects.

I am sure the seo market space will eventually mature over the next 10 years or so via either consolidation or elimination.
