“I’ll Optimize” to the tune of “I Will Survive” (Gloria Gaynor)
May 24th, 2007 by kboydon
At first I had no qualms
I was unethical
I’d taken bad black hat advice
It seemed so logical
But stuffing keywords wasn’t right
It was deceitful and so wrong
And I lost rank
From page one to oblivion
But now I’m back
From cyber space
I just closed my doorway page
To get back to my rightful place
I had to close that link farm down
I had to change the hidden text
If I had known my spammy techniques
Made users angry and perplexed
Click here now click, fill in the form
Just take the time now
’cause the site has been reformed
Weren’t you the one I tried to hurt with sites that stink?
Do you like the unique content?
Do you like the useful links?
Oh yes, now I
I’ll optimize
Oh as long as I know SEO
I know I can advertize
Because I’m affiliate
It doesn’t mean I’m reprobate
I’ll optimize
I’ll optimize (hey hey)
It took all the skill I had
To avoid my plight
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken site
And I spent oh so many bytes
On what users want and so deserve
I use to cheat
But now my site is clean and neat
The URL
Is really swell
It’s not that ugly keyword monster
Giving users hell
And so you feel like dropping in
You can expect the very best
And now I have all Google’s loving
I passed the white hat test
Click here now click, fill in the form
Just take the time now
’cause the site has been reformed
Weren’t you the one I tried to hurt with sites that stink?
Do you like the unique content?
Do you like the useful links?
Oh yes, now I
I’ll optimize
Oh as long as I know SEO
I know I can advertize
Because I’m affiliate
It doesn’t mean I’m reprobate
I’ll optimize
I’ll op-tim-ize

Okay, so I have a problem with this one and here it is.
I am thinking about submitting a little something to this contest (assuming I can get off my butt, and think of something) but the problem is, how on earth am I suppose to write something better than this! I see failure in my future with this kind of competition.
So with that in mind, on one hand I love it, and on the other hand I hate it… but, so far, it has my vote
P.S. For readers who are confused by my post, YES I Like this one, and NO I do not actually hate it.
