What a bizarre set of assumptions he is making. Since when are successfully optimized sites required to get more than 9% of their traffic from search?
That's the craziest notion I've seen in a long, long time.
But he is right about most of his points though. Duplicate content issues, crappy URL structure, worthless title tags. Even the most amatuer SEO tech would know better.Another thought.... if they only get 7 percent of their traffic from the search engines then yea there's a problem. Likely they either chose to target low volume keywords or those links that they paid for have no ability (read: value) to influence their rankings.
New York Times article was awesome. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/13/business/13search.html?src=busln
