When I was working for an SEO service company, we constantly came across the proverbial customer who believed that "if you build it, they will come" (the actual quote from the movie is "if you build it, *he* will come").
Sadly some of these were business owners who could not be convinced that they needed SEO or PPC to bring the traffic. They had convinced themselves that the web does not work.
The other sad fact is that many have paid a lot of money to build a site that happens to be SE-unfriendly. They too don't want to spend any more and some are convinced that their web designer built a site that cannot be improved.
