Warmest Greetings,

On Top of Search Engines  

:: Thursday, July 08, 2004 ::

I'm about to leave for a vacation at the beach, and decided to leave you with something to whistle in the shower with...


On Top of Search Engines

On top of search engines, and feeling so pleased,
'Till you lost your great rankings, Blame that Pay Per Click squeeze.

Back into the web shop, your web site ignored,
It's time to uncover, why your users were bored.

Was it the poor content, or teeny font face?
Or did your cool navbar, drop them in the wrong place?

SEO, SEM, that link exchange page,
Is it really black magic, or Page Rank outrage?

Are you getting conversions? Do you know how?
Web standards and metrics, are really hot now.

Branding, desire, persuasion, and an eye for design,
Are a few of the cool ways, to increase ROI.

On top of search engines, your traffic pours in.
Usability efforts, keeps them coming again.

So, SEO ain't black magic, though it can be a pain,
Just watching web site stats, without going insane.




Sung to the tune of On Top of Spagetti
