Design Coding by Poetic Prophet (AKA The SEO Rapper)
March 28, 2008
Leon Atkinson sent me a link to the video for the song Design Coding by Poetic Prophet (AKA The SEO Rapper AKA Chuck from Pop Labs). It’s an awesome rap song explaining how to code your web pages to obey web standards and increase search engine optimization.
I loved the lyrics:
…Your Photoshop functions then slice that design
Do your layout with divs make sure that it’s aligned
Please don’t use tables even though they work fine
When it come to indexing they give searches a hard time…
Poetic Prophet has a bunch of other videos including Conversion Closing Rap, Paid Search 101 Rap, Social Media Addiction Rap and Link Building 101 Rap. It’s entertaining stuff with solid explanations of online media concepts.

You can always tell that a perfectly good internet meme has jumped the shark when it shows up in the New York Times’ Media and Advertising section. 
YouGotRickRolled.com was covered by Evelyn Nussenbaum yesterday in her article The ’80s Video That Pops Up, Online and Off.
