I was young and naïve when I first came to the big city, starved for attention and fame. It was there I met Google. It was there I first fell in love.

He seduced me, whispered sweet nothings in my ear. I listened. Oh, how I listened. And I believed.

I’d love you more if you were optimized, he said. So I optimized.

I’d love you more if you were listed in DMOZ, he said. So I listed in DMOZ.

I’d love you more if you had bigger linkings, he said. So I got bigger linkings (even though it meant I had to swallow my pride and take to the streets like a whore so I could pay for them).

Things were good for a while. Yes, things were very good. And then he started to change. I began to find signs of strange serps everywhere I looked. I panicked. I tried even harder. I gave, and he took. And yet it happened.

Google dumped me. Like a ton of bricks. Like a gigabyte of data. He ran off with someone younger, someone who looked up to him, admired him for his new algos.

So here I sit. Alone in the big city, with nothing to show for my days here except a battered heart and a broken page rank. *sigh*

Does anyone know if Ink is dating these days?

On the contrary! It's just called "serial monogamy" ;)
