			<description><![CDATA[Aye, it can get pretty sticky. Example Big Brand Corp hires A A has division company B B hires C to do work C uses D as part of said work as contractor That's four now (and am in relative situation atm). To make the assertion that some folks have as far as "they must have known" is a bit off target imo. I can see how it may happen. That doesn't excuse though. If those at A don't treat the SEO process with the respect it deserves, then certainly Big Brand Corp is at risk. Pressure and quality assurance measures should be made clear and paramount from the outset so all those in the chain grasp the gravity. Solid contracts with consultants and contractors ain't a bad idea either (so THEY get thrown under the bus). hehe]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi David, Happy Tuesday, 3 levels removed? Wow. That is farther that I thought things went. But I am on the low levels with my own tiny fiefdom. I had not imagined the work being so far removed from the client.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Ken... Happy Sunday! Oh I have no doubt it does happen. There's often many layers to the search marketing dept in corporate. For example, we've been hired by a company that was an arm of a larger agency, that actually is the one with the contract. Meaning, there's 3 levels of contractors involved. To say the original corporation would know of everything some 3rd teir provider is doing, isn't always true. Thus I do like the nature of this cautionary tale, I simply wouldn't have reported with with names included at the outset. It's going to be some poor fella further down the food chain that get's fired. But yes, greater care must be taken by all of those whom are involved in the vetting and hiring practices. And those providing should be more forthcoming of the risks involved when dealing with clients. At the end of the day, we have no clue if that was the case and that iAcquire may just be falling on their swords like a good soldier.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Always love your stuff David. It seems like false links would be the emperor paying the crowd to tell him how nice his clothes are. Even though he is naked. With D&B being all about credibility it weakens their brand in my opinion. I understand many businesses need to contract out some of their SEO, but it would seem the hiring company would still have someone doing a little overseeing of what is happening. Someone had to authorize a monthly payment - what did they think it was for? Thanks.]]></description>
