“Take this link upon the page!
And, in clicking from site to site,
Thus much let me say —
You are not wrong, who think
That my domains have been a link;

Yet if traffic has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a search result, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem
Is but a domain within a domain.
I stand amid the noise
Of a crowded internet, oh joys!
And I hold within my hand

A subdomain, oh so grand —
How few! Yet how they hide
In the shadows, far and wide,
While I sigh — while I sigh!

Oh SEO! Can I not rank
Higher with a smarter plan?
Oh SEO! can I not save
One from the pitiless game?
Is all that we see or seem
But a domain within a domain?”
