Dodging the Panda
(for all my AC/YCN friends)
We’re moving to a new domain.
The reasoning is fairly plain.
Since Panda left us in the dust,
No longer do we page views trust.
Since February, we have mourned,
As Google has our readers scorned.
The Panda buried titles deep
With writers crying, “Bleepity-bleep!”
Yahoo! Let’s take another chance
And maybe do our happy dance.
May hyperlinks uplift our hearts
And raise the numbers on our charts.
We welcome browsers, one and all,
To overlook the Panda’s call.
This ursine carnivore is cute,
Unless he steals our page view fruit.
Today the change may make us frown,
And readership may slip way down.
But by tomorrow, all retooled,
May publications be refueled.
