Video: Serious Design and Coding Advice from Rapper Poetic Prophet

By Paul Adams March 28, 2008 Categories: Multimedia, Web Basics

White hat SEO experts of the world, you have a new spokesperson. A rapper named The Poetic Prophet (AKA The SEO Rapper) has posted a 3-minute slice of brilliance — a lesson in accessible and standards-based web design that’s sure to increase your PageRank.

Sample lyrics: "Please don’t use tables even though they work fine/when it comes to indexing they give search engines a hard time," and "Describe your doctype so the browser can relate/make sure you do it great or it won’t validate."

Priceless. Seriously, I want this guy to headline the next Future of Web Apps conference afterparty. Ryan Carson, you feelin’ me?
