Webdesign Tutorial by Rap Video
Learning web design by a hiphop video is really neat.
Four years ago we had the usability rap (along with the excellent gangsta-style cartoons from the OK/Cancel guys):
(the mp3 file with the actual rap seems to have disappeared… could anybody point me to a working link?)
Now there is this even cooler rap. Web design tutorial by Poetic Prophet (AKA The SEO Rapper). This one is called “Design Coding”.
I wonder where is there a transscript of the rap, search engine optimized?Update: Molly Holzschlag posted entire transscript (thanks Phil Nash for mentioning).
Make sure you also check out the other videos like “Link Building 101 Rap” and “Do the Page Rank”.
Hmm i feel like sneaking a movie clip into a presentation at work in the near future…

I believe Molly Holzshlag has the transcript from when she posted it here: http://www.molly.com/2008/04/07/design-coding-rap-for-the-rest-of-us/
I loved it too!

That video he made turned out to be one of the best SEO techniques ever… It’s still on top of the Google rankings for “link building!” I guess he really knows what he’s doing!

This a great example on how successful Internet marketing should be done :-)

Very good video and useful information in it. Pretty much sums up seo in 3 minutes. Now if we can only get him to do all the work too.

Haha, I love rap, and this was an interesting rendition. All about SEO baby :)

ranking without converting, is like a broken pencil…

Hahaha, I think I just found how I’m going to do my learning from now on. Good stuff. Big props for this, instant book mark.

This is pretty cool. Google loves video…smart marketers are using this to their advantage!

This is hilarious. My CEO comes over, says he’s from Texas, and walks away. Doesn’t mean I don’t like it. I didn’t know that search engines don’t like tables! But they crawl myspace all the time…MySpace is loaded with tables.
Tru dat wit da css files. Something I’ve gotta clean up, too. Same goes for javascript, too. I’m not sure he mentioned that. Keep your javascript of your page, too. It’s confusing for humans, nevermind search bots.

I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time. Finally something entertaining when I’m searching about SEO. Needs video work, maybe a Cadillac and a giant pool.
February 19th, 2009 at 22:38 (GMT-1)
Haha, word. Maybe some rings on his fingers and some dimes on each side doing their thang. SEO is sexy, right?

Hey Jesper..first time visitor here man..this post combines two of my favorite things: rap and web development..loved it! Lacks in one thing though: not enough bling!
May 13th, 2009 at 23:21 (GMT-1)
Thats one awesome video. I never thought rap would be a part of the process for web development! But hey, after seeing this I believe anything is possible! I’m sure many people will fancy this! thanks for posting..

Excellent video, really had a lot of important stuff said out even though it had to come out in a rap :D love the interpretation though, very creative, would love to see more of this kinda rap!

A funny and different approach, indeed. Could use a bit of angel shifting perhaps spiced with a bit of Jørgen Klevin style communication.

Well the youth of today love rap music. Maybe we should start teaching math and history with rap.
July 13th, 2009 at 17:14 (GMT-1)
