it seems like every two months or so, we still have someone proffering to "drive millions of visitors to our site" by "optimizing our industry-standard META tags, which will search engines what your site is about."

They aren't necessarily offering to produce garbage results pointing to your site, though, are they? It could be as legitimate as they say it: getting your site to show up in searches done by people who are looking for sites like yours. For example, maybe your pages don't contain the keywords that your prospective customers think of when they think about what you're selling.
