Earlier this year I composed a rap about all (well…not all of them) of the algorithm changes Google was making. I had what I thought was a pretty cool concept for the song and video. I’d record the song and do the video as if I was talking and teaching myself. The song came out well. I used Tyga’s Rack City instrumental. My video editing skills are…lets just say I need more practice. Anyway, I recorded the video a few months ago and had been taking way to long to edit it. So you know what happened, Google released more algorithm changes. I figured I better hurry and release this video because it has already become old before it can be new…smh.
Google releases tons of changes to their search algorithm. My video covers what I felt were some of the most important ones in the past two years. Check out this latest post by Google covering 52 algorithm changes made in April 2012.
Watch the video and leave your comments about it. Tell me what you think. Preciate it. The lyrics are below.
The SEO Rapper, back with another one,
Pay attention this time you might learn something
dedicated to my online marketers
spending all day looking at monitors
First page aim
I get it in mayne
had Google tamed til the algorithm change
algorithm change?
yeah a algorithm change
for the past few years they changed up the game
what you talking about tell me how to get it in
let me take you back, 2010
local listing, Google Places
became part of search engine result pages
that was April, man you gotta see
everybody wanna be A – G
in June came Google caffeine

Google Instant came in September
everybody was panicing, remember
then they switch gears and focused on landing pages

January try to stop content scrapers
they released Panda in February
messed up a whole bunch of people very scary
messed up who, not me
because you have good content and quality
they released Farmer in that same month
hurting people using content farms, huh?
in March they tried to get social right
+1 button similar to a facebook like
put it on the serp page next to the listing
so you can see who in your circle clicked it
Sitelinks, came in august
it was 12 then they cut it to 6
