Given what WE know, and in this marketplace, there are much better things to be doing with our time than chasing, selling, and servicing SMEs.

I would think that all depends on your business model. There are many up and coming search engine marketeers who would jump at the chance to service an SME. That is how I started. :)

Also, many of those SME's have a much larger budget than you would expect. The budget will reflect your efforts in promoting the value to the consumer.

Here's the big kicker, the market is still in its infancy stages and anyone with basic search engine marketing skills can secure a nice little niche servicing those local SMEs.

Don't let those numbers fool you. I'd have to question the accuracy of those numbers, especially based on my experiences serving SMEs.
