The Moz Top Ten

What You Need to Know in the World of SEO

May 2012, Issue 2: Spring has Sprung!

*beep* Roger spent the weekend chilling at Seattle's Folklife. The food, the people, the tunes. He picked up the ukulele and wrote this little song while he was there:

"When the Pandas are stalking you
Even if you're feeling quite blue
You don't have to look very far
Just reach into my candy jar

I'm Roger Mozbot, here to help you
With SEO, content, and social media tooI will give you a hug
And point you to your coffee mug

Because you awesome
I'll hold your hand while you blossom
Together, we'll get you ranking #1"
