SEO Poem

We hunt for algorithms, strategies.
We scan for rhythms, patterns, we make notes.
We see the woods and miss the single trees

Links, anchor text, Page Rank, directories:
Let x equal the weight that these denote.
We hunt for algorithms, strategies.

Some ranking pages‘ content parodies
The naturalistic text that snippets quote.
We see the wood and miss the single trees.

Doorway pages, short-term remedies
For sites whose ranking chances seem remote.
We hunt for algorithms, strategies.

No off-page tricks and tactics, none of these
Add any value to a site of note.
We see the wood and miss the single trees.

Day after day we churn out effigies
Of some purported model of repute.
We hunt for algorithms, strategies.
We see the wood and miss the single trees
