"Link Love"
An original ballad by HubSpot's Rebecca Corliss

I knew that our feelings were true
That time I got that Tweet from you
You Dugg my post from yesterday
You said it in a special way

I blogged about the way I felt
You commented—It made me melt
I hoped you'd blog about us too
I watched the trackbacks, would there be one from you?

Give me the link love
Boy, where's the link love?
Hey, show me the link love
Your perfect website grade goes straight to my heart

My iPhone beeped. Had a Google alert
You linked to me. You're such a flirt
I checked the link grade. Can it be?
You'd given SEO credit to me

I wrote about our romance news
My blog now had a thousand views
Tweeted the link so I could brag
Now Twitter knew and they made a hashtag

Give me the link love
Boy, where's the link love?
Hey, show me the link love
Your perfect website grade goes straight to my heart
 
My 301 directed me
To be with you so permanently
Now our domains as one unite
Our love gives us a ranking website

Your inbound links are strong and true
The anchor text is "I love you"
The keywords that we optimize
Causes our blog rank and our passion to rise

Give me link love
Boy, where's the link love?
Show me the link love
Your perfect website grade goes straight to my heart

I just couldn't get past the real fur on her jacket collar. How can you promote anything to do with love and be displaying the fur of a tortured animal. You've lost me as a subscriber.

Nice work! This is exactly what I am talking about. We have so many talented people where I work, but the big wigs don't understand the value in unleashing their creativity in tangential ways. I am going to show this at my sales meeting, today. Thanks, HubSpot!

Ha-ha! I love the creativity! Keep it up HubSpot!
