On "American Idol" or on "American Idol Rejects"?
It is easy to be the best, just see how hard it is to be the worst! Now THAT takes a LOT of work.
I'll do my best though. :-)
"You ain't nothin' but a Adam Lasnik Cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a Adam Lasnik Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a Google And you ain't no friend of mine"
Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the group, You in the Plex. Send in Adam Lasnik.
Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around, One who can't move. Where is Adam Lasnik? Send in Adam Lasnik.
Just when I'd stopped opening mail, Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours, Making my entrance again with my usual flair, Sure of my code, No one is there.
Don't you love search? My fault I fear. I thought that you'd want what I want. Sorry, my dear. But where is Adam Lasnik? There ought to be Adam. Quick, send in Adam Lasnik.
What a surprise! Who could foresee I'd come to feel about Google What you felt about thee? Why only now when I see That you've drifted away? What a surprise... What a cliche'...
Isn't it rich, isn't it weird? Losing my timing this late in my career And where is Adam Lasnik Quick send in Adam Lasnik

So, so you think you can tell content from spam, Good links from bad. Can you tell hidden text from keyword stuffing? A penalty from a ban? Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you trade their links for yours? Reviews for fees? Hot air for good advice? Old domains for change? And did you exchange a sitewide link for one on the home page?
How I wish, how I wish Adam were here. We're just all lost souls loosing position in the SERPS, year after year, running over the same old code. What have we found? The same old errors, wish Adam were here.

Adam, I get deindexed, sometimes days pass and this emptiness fills my site when I want to run away I log off my account but whichever site I go I come back to the place you were
all my redirects, they return and the link scheme, so soon will crash without a noise, without a sign I banned from the index again
in your SERPS the right to be in your SERPS I am complete in your SERPS I see the doorway to a thousand pages in your SERPS the resolution of all the fruitless searches in your SERPS I see the right to be in your SERPS oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the top the spot I see in your SERPS
Adam, I don't like to see so much spam so much wasted and this bandwith keeps slipping away I get so tired of working so hard for our inclussion I look to the time with you to keep me indexed and ranked
Then all my redirects, they return and the link scheme, so soon will crash without a noise, without a sign I banned from the index again
in your SERPS the right to be in your SERPS I am complete in your SERPS I see the doorway to a thousand pages in your SERPS the resolution of all the fruitless searches in your SERPS I see the right to be in your SERPS oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the top the seat I see in your SERPS in your SERPS in your SERPS in your SERPS in your SERPS in your SERPS in your SERPS
In this tight niche we grew up strong We were wanted all along I was taught to spam, taught to rank I never thought I could fail
No pages left or so it seems I am a site whose ranks have all plummeted I've changed my font, I've changed my title But no one wants you when your spam
Dont give up cos you have Yahoo Dont give up Youre not banned yet Dont give up I know you can be included
Though I saw it all around Never thought I could be affected Thought that Big Daddy would miss us It is so strange the way things turn
Logged into my Google account The place that I uploaded, my sitemap As daylight broke, I saw the SERPS The pages had burned down to the ground
Dont give up You still have ASK Dont give up They don't need much of anything Dont give up cause somewhere there's a index Where we belong
Buy more links You worry too much Its going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on ads Don't give up Please don't give up
got to get out of here I cant take anymore Going to sign up for AdWords Keep watching my campaign Rankings may come And rankings may go The SERPS are changing The SERPS are changing
Moved on to another niche Tried hard to settle in For every word, so many sites So many sites no-one needs
Dont give up cause you have links Dont give up Youre not the only one Dont give up No reason to be banned Dont give up You still have Ask. Dont give up now We'll scrape some more content Dont give up You know its never been easy Dont give up cause I believe there's a index There's a index where we belong

Why the Adam-fixation, guys? Why isn't anyone worried about where Vanessa went off to? or don't you think Maile deserves a song (serenade!) as well? Don't forget Jonathan - who's been passing out un- topable advice over and over?

I saw this thread yesterday, but... it's been so much more entertaining to see the previously untapped artistic talents that abound within this group.
And -- for better or worse -- I'm heading off tomorrow for Search Engine Strategies Munich and won't be back in the States 'til Thursday. As always, others are regularly checking all the sections of this group, and I'll look forward to catching up when I return*.
For those of you in Munich, I hope to meet you in person at the conference! For all of you... please give some love in the meantime to the other Googlers and -- much more importantly -- the awesome non- Googlers in your midst here! :)
- Adam
*No, this does not mean I'll be back to posting here on Thursday... but hopefully soon after :)

I think I'll take this opportunity to take a break from providing free customer support for a while. I've answered all the questions I can, now I seek answers.
