Utah Search Engine Optimization | Utah SEO Consultant

I thought I had seen it all when Stanford computer science students went gangsta rap. MC Plus + recorded songs about binary code, programming, C++, and Java. Some songs make fun of “script kiddies” and while they are hillarious they aren’t very well done.

Now for the SEO/M world we have OG Charles Lewis (Chuck) also known as Poetic Prophet, from Pop Labs, droppin’ beats and putting a new “sphinn” on social media addiction, paid search, and link building. Chuck raps about search engine marketing techniques and social media as part of a daily lifestyle.

His videos went up in November of ’07 but I just barely discovered thems thanks to a Tweet from Muhammad Saleem followed by a Sphinn post from Danny Sullivan. While researching I saw that WebProNews.com had reported on this in November but apparently I missed it.

I love Chuck’s witty lyrics. He’s a guy who obviously knows what he’s doing. Here’s the lyrics to the link building rap video:

“You create a new site and its content heavy,
With the right amount of pictures you believe it’s ready,
So you launch it trying to put money in da bank,
But when you search and try to find yourself, you can’t,
So you thank until your mind goes blank,
Got titles and headers but no page rank,
Sooner or later it will show if I wait,
In the meantime make sure my code validate,
And it do,
Hmm, now what I’m supposed to do,
Add meta information and alt tags too,
Still don’t get listing,
Something must be missing,
Brad and Chuck recommended doing link building,
So you start hunting down sites like a predator,
Doing back links on all your competitors,
Whoever linking to them need to link to me,
Is it free, do we swap, or do I pay a fee,
Well take it from us, before you take that step,
Some things about the site that you might want to check,
Did they use a link farm or some dirty tactics,
Could have a bad effect on your site that’s drastic,
Could’ve link baited, look at what they created,
Compare it to yours, is it even related,
Take the time, go inspect and see,
Take advantage of paid directories,
If you follow all the steps with a little bit of patience,
Get links from relevant sites that are favorites,
Update your content on the regular basis,
I’m confident you’ll make it to first page placement”
