Another 24 hour giveaway – Where are the poets?
Calling all wannabe (or professional) poets!!
This one closes out at noon (EST – New York, USA) on Friday, October 5.
Prizes at stake:
- iPod Nano (8GB) – Back in Skinny Jeans – won by Deb – Mom of 3 Girls
- iPod Touch (8GB) – Help Desk Geek – won by Tanner Christensen -
- iPod Shuffle (1GB) – I Hate Bad Service – won by Federico Bertolini
- iPod Nano (8GB) – It’s Write Now – won by Mike
- iPod Extreme Makeover (new LCD, front plate, rear plate & battery for iPod Nano or Video) – iPod Repair of Memphis – won by Kabitzin
How to Enter:
It’s “Ode to ProBlogger” time! All you have to do to have a qualifying entry to win one of the above 5 prizes is to leave a comment below with a poem about ProBlogger. It doesn’t have to be a “love poem” or written in any particular style (though yes, rhyming would be nice). You don’t have to link to anything or write anything on your own blog – you simply have to write a poem about ProBlogger the website or Darren, the man behind the site, right there in the comments section (of course if you really want to share your Ode with your readers you can post it on your blog – but we’d also ask you to share it here in comments so we’ve got them all in the one place).
Please include the word problogger or Darren in your Ode to help us catch all of these comments in Akismet.
There will be no judging, so please feel free to write BAD poetry!
The random number generator will choose 5 winners who will be notified by email.
Here comes the rub: If you have already won something, we’re sorry but you’re not eligible. If you win one of the iPods, you will then not be eligible to win anything else. Entering is not a guarantee of winning anything, and this whole thing is just for fun so if you think you’re a bad poet, write something anyway that somewhat resembles poetry. We seriously don’t care if it’s good or not!
Check out the full prize list (now updated to show which prizes have already been awarded or are in progress!) and if you’re not subscribed to the RSS feed by now, you’ve likely missed your chances to win a whole bunch of cool stuff already!
PS: If you’re looking for a little ‘inspiration’ – here’s an Ode that ProPoet Robert Bruce did for ProBlogger a while back:
Sorry, had to remove the video because it was acting all wonky… if you like, you can view it here.
Update
This giveaway is closed, and all winners have been selected and notified. Thanks for all the really fantastic stuff (yes, even the “bad” stuff) – You all amazed both Darren and myself with your creativity!

He is the king of bloggers,
He is the ultimate blogger,
He is Darren Rowse.
Problogger set me thinking on blogging all over again.

To keep in the theme of my anime blog, here is a haiku (that does count, right? it is technically a form of poem…):
Come Thy ProBlogger,
Thou shalt read thine blog posts here
And Make Much Muula
Oh, and if I did win anything from yesterday’s contests, then I’d like one of the four new ipods, as I don’t currently have one myself. I don’t particularly care which.

If I wanted to start a blog,
There is only one place I’d turn.
When I found myself stuck in the www fog,
I’d have to get on my computer and and go to problogger or I’d burn, burn, burn.
Darren is the true blogging man,
The one who knows it all.
He created problogger – not a ceiling fan,
Such a great website….Darren, he’s such a doll.

A Terrible Ode to Problogger
Problogger is the best
This blog beats the rest
Teaches you everything
In no time you’ll be expert in blogging
Wish I wrote a haiku now
The poem sucks hard
All for iPods and stuff. Yey.

Ode to Darren
Darren makes my world go ’round
What is lost, that will be found
at the ProBlogger Blog. This time
that fascinating job, will be mine!
Oh Darren, thank you for loving us
and all the advice your giving us!
Without you, the blogosphere would stop turning
and you would hear all the yearning
of all those lost in cyberspace
we would only see the real world and gaze!
So thank you Darren one more time
for caring about us all the time!

There once was a guy named Darren
Who had a thing for Brian McLaren
But the new kind of Christian
Left the blogger kind of itchin’
For that theology just wasn’t worth sharing.

Ode to Darren’s Hair
Darren Rowse is just an online rockstar
He’ll help you make money online from afar
But if someone tells you his hair is gone
Check out his videos and you’ll see that they’re wrong
You see, I was inspired by Seth Godin and Darren
Shaved my hair all off, now my skull is barren
I figured I could be a better blogger if I did it
If not the lack of hair, then what’s their secret?
But woe hath befallen me when I learned Darren’s picture lies
Seeing hair on his head left me absolutely traumatized
But a blogger does not have time to cry or lament
To be a Problogger, I guess I’ve got to use an Australian accent!
//Inspired by Mountain Dew, Chipotle, and the not-completely-truthful picture of Darren at the bottom right of every page.

Much like Drinking Rum
ProBlogger teaches me a lot
so that I can learn to not be a flop
Linkbait, Content, Hootah

I read Problogger in my RSS reader
Hopefully I am done being a bottom feeder

Stephan Goral
October 5th, 2007 2:28 am
I got a blog called flogger, it’s no problogger
Im already out of rhymes, too bad Darren’s name isn’t Roger
When I don’t win an iPod my heart hurts
Problogger is awesome, each post is artwork
I never knew writing poems was such hard work

yes this is true,
in fact it makes a lot of it
and so can you.
Just read Problogger everyday
and all of your “make money blogging” worries
will go away.
Gabi Jguma
October 5th, 2007 2:30 am
To be or not to be
Blogging for the money
That is the true question
That Darren asks thee.
Surf the high waves, school drop-out or intellectual
Work it the ProBlogger way, just make it professional.

I visit here daily for wisdom and tips

October 5th, 2007 2:35 am
If your looking to make money on the net
ProBlogger is one of the best you’ll get
An Australian from Down Under
He’ll help your blog roll with thunder
I really hate doing poetry.:)
Derek Wong
October 5th, 2007 2:36 am
You can be a couch potato
Or be a jogger
You can still learn things
From the problogger.
He’ll teach you this
He’ll teach you SEO.
He mixes it up sometimes
So to his site you should go.
Joe
October 5th, 2007 2:36 am
Darren and problogger the words I need to get out of the way
To maybe possibly win an iPod and completely make my day
Here’s to hoping a random number generator
Picks my number because that would be cooler than a refrigerator
That’s set to a really cold setting
and My pants with joy I’ll be wetting
james
October 5th, 2007 2:37 am
Hark, the rising sun
illuminates Darren’s true calling
a problogger bright and fair
from the Internet comes falling
It lights upon the screen so clear
with advice to make the soul ring
with inspiring elements of truth and dreams.
[cripes. I better not quit my day job.]

A blogger, a photographer, and Australian, oh my!
I see Darren’s face when I look to the sky.
He speaks to the masses, though he lives “down under”
But what happened to all of his hair, I wonder?
Sara
October 5th, 2007 2:40 am
Darren,
Here is my entry:
Ode to The Problogger
What to say of Darren Rowse?
He knows his $hit and rocks the house.
I hope someday to quit my job,
And Darren will help me, with his blog.
He taught me how to make some dough,
Never writing ’bout stuff we already know.
His site, it has a job board, too.
You can find someone who’s looking for you.
For anyone needing some blogging skill,
No one can teach you like Darren will.
Sometimes he talks about tennis and jogging,
but listen up: it’s really about blogging!
Sara
(P.S. to Alexia – your haiku was awesome!)

Ode to Problogger
Each day I get up with my mind in a fog
I click on problogger and read this fantastic blog
A guy name Darren has posts from down under
He has a weird haircut that makes me wonder
But somehow I keep coming back, especially for a prize
The fact that he makes so much money makes him so wise.
Tim Broder
October 5th, 2007 2:41 am
O CAPTAIN! my Captain! your super birthday has begun;
The blog has weather’d every hack, the prize we seek is yet to win;
The end not near, the readers hear, its all so exciting,
While steady hands the keyboard, the posts bright and daring;
But O read! read! read!
O the multitude of posts,
Where the captain Darren mans the helm,
Many posts to be read.
O CAPTAIN! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the FeedBurner count;
For you hits and readers galore and counting;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This contest on your blog;
It is some dream that on the web,
Will get your count up ahead.

As long as ProBlogger is happy
They’ll give me an iPod (p-please?) without spending a dime

Every day I sit,
Every day I await,
To see what next
You will cleverly create.
Words of wisdom,
Lists that actually matter,
Real knowledge
that drowns out the chatter.
Lost among the blogsphere,
Looking but I could not see,
And then I found Darren,
Problogger I salute thee.

Everyone

One’s dreams could cost much

A problogger blogs
to fulfill those
dreams.
Aah, a crappy poem.

Darren’s check was what attracted
All the content then impacted
Me but then I got distracted
By the way my brain reacted
Soon I fixed myself and acted
Added RSS and tracked it
Now a blogging pro-I cracked it!

If you want to make a buck,
Do your blogging like a duck:
Cross the water all day long,
Until you see you got it wrong.
But if you want to make it strong,
Just read Problogger all night long,
Then focus better on your niches,
To get access to all those riches,
Which make a generation’s dream,
And redirect our blogging stream,
To route those fortunes our way.
Hey, Darren dear, what you’d say?
Chitka, AdSense, Text Link Ads,
We treated all like they were gods.
We’ve put them all above the fold,
Hoping one day our blog be sold,
So we could live a life of fun,
With chicks and laying in the sun,
Free from all worries, with no trouble,
As all we touch is turning double.
I’ll post this poem on my site,
Hoping sincerely that you might
Consider digging it at once,
So I can see my traffic bounce.
Lulu

Poem #1:
Ipods are red
Ipods are blue
I love making money
Problogger does too!
Poem #2:
Twas birthday time at Problogger
and all thru the Net
Not a blogger was sleeping
Cause they all had a bet
That someone would win
Some of Darren’s great games
They’d get Ipods, cash money
And we’d all know their names.
Frank Cantu
October 5th, 2007 2:52 am
Poems, ProBlogger does not teach,
not even for writing them on the beach.
But if you want to be a successful blogger,
all time wasted here won’t bother.
And the worst poem goes to….
Punny Money
October 5th, 2007 2:52 am
There was was a Problogger named Darren
Whose body was shaped like a pear and
While he wasn’t sure how,
He’s still hotter than John Chow.
It might be the snappy clothes he is wearin’.

I would love to blog,
And listen to an Ipod,
And Derren made me stop my system,
Just to write this poem.

Ode to ProBlogger
They said blogging is easy,
So it is, yeah…
In writing a poem, I’m just… um, sleazy?
My English is not enough, damn…
I would write you in my own language, Turkish
Then I would write an awesome poem
But then people would think I’m being a kissarse to win
OK I also lost the rhymes now.
Ramanujam
October 5th, 2007 2:55 am
Since there is no judging here is my piece of crap from “Without Me”!
There are million other blogs on the run
But it will feel so empty without Darren!
Hurrah! I love this :)

October 5th, 2007 2:57 am
Darren and his job board,
Got me a gig,
My first adsense check,
And friends that I dig.
A way to make friends,
Earn money and more,
Problogger rules,
In a way I adore!
I NEED an iPod! Seriously, am I the last person to own one? Thanks!

just don’t leave me empty handed.
It doesn’t matter to you,
but would leave me stranded.

One day in the future, a blog I will write.
‘Twill be far from annoying, trivial or trite…
(the subject, however, is still up in the air–
maybe travel, or philosophy, or music, or bears?)
Monetize it I will, using Darren’s advice,
With several posts daily, compact and concise.
ProBlogger! ProBlogger! Your praises I sing!
Doesn’t “an iPod for me” have a nice ring?

Ohhhhh
There one was a ProBlogger from Austraila;
I asked him why my blog was a failyah; (it’s not really, but it sorta rhymes)
He replied to me twice
to just take the advice
that he’s posted online for three years now!

Blogging, it seems like such an easy thing,
Fire up Word, and come up with a word string.
It’s a hard world though,
As you never know,
Whether you’ll get any success,
Not even after all the stress.
There are ways to ease things up nonetheless,
Darren Rose, some suggest.
My tip? Don’t get bored,
And check ProBlogger for info being stored.
Not my best poem, but I hope it’ll do, the deadline is killing ;)
Alex Weiz
October 5th, 2007 3:10 am
Darren at Problogger has all the right tools
For real bloggers to use we don’t need the other fools
They just take Darren’s tips, recycle and re-use
Like nobody would notice, but they’re all gonna lose
Cause here at Problogger we’ve got one of the best
His 33,119 RSS readers should feel so blessed
But Darren as I go I have one final request
Please give me an iPod out of your treasure chest!
Seo Developer
October 5th, 2007 3:10 am
By a Mozilla browser obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill spammers only,

I can’t believe the things you get us to do! Heres’ my entry.
Ode to the Problogger (with apologies to the bard)
Shall I compare thee to a celebrity great?
Thou art more helpful and more practical
Rough winds do shake the darling blogs of fame
And technorati’s lease hath all too short a date
Sometimes too hot the eyes of diggers shine
And often is the blogging mojo dimmed
And every blog from favour some time declines
By chance, or social media’s changing course, untrimmed
But thy eternal summer will not fade
Nor lose possession of that pro you are
Nor shall google brag thou wandrest in his shade
When in eternal links thou growst
So long as bloggers blog or eyes can see
So long lives Problogger and this gives blog life to me.
Michael @ herogasm.de

There once was a Blogger named Darren
Who thought up tips he liked sharin’
And wound up with lots of people starin’
At his web pages with affliates blarin’
There’s lots to show that he’s carin’
And I bet you thought his last line would rhyme.

This Problogging site is new to me
There is so much to read and see
I clicked over here from Back In Skinny Jeans
Since I don’t currently have the financial means
To buy a new Ipod of my very own
Even though I’m older and grown
So if my name happens to randomly be drawn
I’ll be so happy from dusk to dawn.

Because win this competition, I will.

When you think, you can’t make money
Problogger is the blog to read!
When you don’t find any opportunity
Problogger is the blog to visit!
When you feel, life is miserable
Read the story of Darren!
When you think Internet Money is scam
Visit problogger to see the facts!
When you have hard time to write
Visit problogger to find your guide!
When you make a lot of Dollars
Visit problogger to thanks the problogger!

I love ProBlogger like I love my DP,
I consume it and it consumes me.
Darren is good, Darren is wise
don’t bother with those other guys.
my poem is lame, yes I know,
but I want an IPOD to take on the road.

When in doubt,
I searched about.
And came across this blog.
It had all types of tips,
no evil tricks.
Enough to feed a hog.
The site is Problogger,
that made my problems no longer.
It has all the information I need.
There’s videos he’s made,
and many ideas to trade.
This blog is simply a must read!
view this site,
read all Darren has to say.
Know everything will be alright,
this blog will help lighten your day!

If SEO, ads, affiliate
Darren’s blog will link the bait
if anything is new or vicious
here you burn it, digg it or del.icio.us
how to blog and how to live
how to connect and to survive
how to write and to promote
problogger’ll spread the news around the globe
Problogger is the place to be
And Darren is THE MAN indeed
I ain’t a poet
I hope that’ll do it ;)

Ode to Problogger
Every Day
I learn the way
To make my blog a little better
To read the news
Of the latest blog views
I turn to Darren, the blog trend-setter
Oh Problogger, what would I do without you?
You have seen me through
The beginning and, well, I’m still a beginner.
I hate to leave
But my husband is peeved
And I must join my family for dinner.

There once was this swell Aussie mate
who helped me go from good blog to great
Now, when I read “blogger”
I hear it as “blogga”
Thanks to the videos he makes.

October 5th, 2007 3:34 am
I started out in as a fitness jogger,
Running and thinking or how to build my house,
One day the thinking turned to action,
By reading a problogger called Darren Rowse.
He thought me to write, link and be kind,
Forcus and write about what I knew about,
Never to want anything back in my mind,
Anything bad should stay shut in my mouth.
It all paid off after a year and a half,
Blogging and admiring this blogger named Rowse,
Among my peers I had the last laugh,
I finally did it, I finally build my house.

In the wild world of the amazing blogosphere.
Lives the wisest blogger expert who can help us with our “sort-of” career.
This man named Darren Rowse is helping everyone write.
Content that makes their blog posts excite.
So don’t hesitate to add ProBlogger to your RSS feeds.
Because this is one blog that excels and exceeds.

There once was a man from Australia

Not meant to be mean, just couldn’t find enough words to rhyme with Australia!

Darren Rowse of ProBlogger,
Let’s head to the pub for a nice cold lager.
You can teach me… give me inspiration
For new and unique ways of blog monetization
I’d hang onto your every word,
No matter how ridiculous or absurd.
My mind cannot fathom the impressive span,
Of your genius and master plan
And when at least we do part ways,
I will only more sing your praise.
Thanks for giving me a good clean slate
So long ProBlogger and good day mate!
** I sure could use that iPod Touch. Shiny!

Ode to Darren by Roberta Ferguson
This is to he, who has little hair
His name is Darren
The man with blogging flair
Good content, he says
is what brings ‘em in
we all love the group writing projects
He offers all kinds of blogging resources
For this big birthday bash,
He and Lara joined forces
And he never maliciously posts affiliate links
As the father of blogging,
Before he posts, he thinks
All sorts of blogging tips in one handy place
Learn to make money online
In the Darren Rowse race
Watch out John Chow!
Reading Problogger to make money
We’re all learning how!
There’s my poetic nonsense……I’ll keep entering these until I can hopefully win something :) Great idea for a giveaway, Darren!

Whose prizes I just kept an eye on
If the poem’s any good
He’ll give this advice
Just throw the Zune over there in the bucket
You really have to dig deep into the google search to find out (ref: google search page 7692 re: Darren Rowse ) that Darren wanted to grow up in Nantucket but kept this all to himself … ;)

October 5th, 2007 3:57 am
They ask for a poem, as from a poet,
from the blogmasters who oft drop by.
Which they? Problogger (do you know it?)
Where thoughts about blogging for dollars fly.
If you could write one, would you show it?
If you couldn’t, would you try?

If by chance you decide to make blogging a career
Then, Darren Rowse’s Problogger is just the thing, my dear.
And he does it with such style, it makes his competitors burn
Half of what he’s forgotten, John Chow still has to learn!
He’ll answer all your questions and advice, he’s got oodles.
Start earning money. There’s more to life than Ramen noodles!
Read his posts everyday, subscribe to his RSS feed
Dig through his archives and get all the info you’ll need
Plus, every now and then he’s got prizes and giveaways to boot
You’ll soon be a problogger and gain all of that loot!
You’ll be in blogger nirvana; you’ll be filled with such bliss!
Man, you could even a prize for bad poetry like this.

If you follow Darren’s lead,
see your blog doing a leap.
Don’t forget to comment too,

to be grateful for his trust.

Never neglecting his child or spouse
Darren Rowse works from his house
Sharing a wealth of blogging knowledge
His site a virtual blogging college
With b5, the Job Board and a vlog to boot
Follow Darren closely and he’ll show you the loot
While this verse is not fancy and is unworthy of praise
It is with these few words my hand I shall raise
For an iPod I have not and I wish one to claim
I risk ridicule among my peers as I really am lame
So, Darren, beyond your fame, and no doubt your wealth
Take pleasure in knowing you just got me to make an ass of myself

I once had a personal blog
very quiet, no attention hog
one day while blog scrolling
past problogger I went rolling
very quickly at first
blogging blogs were the worst
but his post caught my eye
seemed like such a smart guy
I learned from the best
how to clean up a mess
though my posts remain long,
and I know that’s quite wrong
now my archives are pretty
comments timely and witty
my blog manners are better
and I spell to the letter.

Darren, problogger forever,
To me, you seem very clever,
Your content is the best quality around,
if it was music, it should be a wonderful sound,
I hope you keep this up,
and eventually win the bloggers cup,
(while it probably doesn’t even exists)
That was my poet :)
Let’s get another iPod touch ;)

When asked to smell a rose, you think of the word ‘Rowse’
Blogging is good, it helps keep you on your toes
ProBlogger is an influential man
If he can become a success, anyone can
Although he’s over there in Australia making money
He’s bringing home the bacon for his honey
He shaves his head because he’s cool
But all he really wants is for the wannabe bloggers to stay in school
Swantje

Oh I wish I was a ProBlogger without any hair
In 2004 revolution was in the air
I’m blogging too late in a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a ProBlogger without any hair
When John Chow wasn’t a money hog,
Not everybody had a blog,
When writing really mattered and when content was king,
When Google didn’t have control
And PayPerPost couldn’t buy your soul
And WordPress was still scary and we didn’t know everything
Oh I wish I was a ProBlogger without any hair
In 2004 revolution was in the air
I’m blogging too late in a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a ProBlogger without any hair
When A-listers still remained a myth
And SEO-ignorance could still be bliss
And when Darren started his blog, he knew he couldn’t fail
When Larry and Sergey were in their teens
And net-neutrality wasn’t just a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was to dial up for your mail
Oh I wish I was a ProBlogger without any hair
In 2004 revolution was in the air
I’m blogging too late in a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a ProBlogger without any hair
When Yahoo Search was still on top
And porn was all they stocked
And the Web 2.0 (beta) was still drifting out in space
IE was the only browser in town,
And LolCats weren’t doing the rounds
And Andy Beard still had long hair and a house build yet to face
I’m blogging too late in a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a ProBlogger without any hair
(Apologies to Sandi Thom…..)

Here’s a story of a ProBlogger,
Like on Seinfield, he loved Frogger.
But Unlike the title of this game,
Darren was this blogger’s name.

he keeps on hopping/blogging to make more wealth.

Because in each post Darren puts thought
Into helping everyone blog their best
and turn their site into a traffic fest
So cheers for our hero Darren

the best blog they can believe

Here’s my little ode going out to problogger
Increasing youre skills to turn you into a slogger
Keep posting all day, running on like a jogger
In the interent cafe you turn into a computer hogger
Even if youre new to blogging, he’ll show you how to leave your mark
Bettering your blogging technique so you can hit it out of the park
Darren will have you writing posts all night long, even in the dark.
They’re lethal and deadly, just like a shark
Get hints and lessons on turning blogging into to a profession
By tomorow writing new posts will become a new obsession
If you’re stuck or lost, just drop-in a question
And check back every day for a brand new lesson
:)

Oh Darren! Oh Darren! thy name lists like a log,
In a tempestuous ocean, filled with many a blog;
Washing drowning surfers onto a tropical shore,
Into a land of lovely maidens where treats galore.
Hail Problogger! source of information, incarnate
Slogger you are, sharing thy wisdom so ornate;
Visiting your site is such a pleasure ride,
You have been a friend, a philosopher and a guide.
Oh Darren! Oh Darren! be the shining light,
Be the light house, helping us saliors at night;
We steer our rocking webships around,
Thanks for helping us not run aground.

Someone who hardly knew what a blog should be,
stepped by this website, during a cup of tea.
After reading through some of the content,
the ’someone’ came back, just a little more frequent.
It became clear to the visitor that there was nothing to compare,
with the best weblog, like the one we have here.
ProBlogger is the place where we all want to be,
perhaps, during these giveaways, they will have a price for me!

Problogger.net – how much better can it get?
Just subscribe to the feed and daily you’ll read
It never gets old – at least that’s what I’m told –

You are surely on the path to a win…
Totally cheesy – but hey it’s random right?

of the problogger’s creed.
rarely a rant,
and never a screed.
to build conversation,
the problogger posts
the news of his world
on the blog he does host.
telling the tips
and techniques of the trade
the problogger prospers
with each passing day.
and when the lights dim
for rest for the weary
problogger at home
in his dreams he does scurry
from one blog to another
to help out his friends
to write one more post
to teach us again.

An Ode to ProBlogger
Behind this liquid crystal display, there is a man who writes each day.
His name, which we so humble speak, is Darren Rowse, a true computer geek.
His knowledge is far greater than yours or mine, some might go as far as to say it’s quite divine.
And I, a foolish blogging noob, spend too much time looking for him on YouTube.
Yet what does this wondrous king of blogging do? On this day he offers prizes for me and you.
The humble, the undeserving readers, that thanks to ProBlogger have become infamous leaders.
Prizes that I pray I might win, instead of someone else who might throw them to the trash bin.
Oh ProBlogger, my ProBlogger, I want to win so much.
And if I might have a chance at owning an iPod Touch,
I would forever be grateul, “indebted” I’d say.
Yet even if I don’t win, I shall remember the day.

Oh, Great and Might Problogger!
You big audience hogger.
A little rant and rave
from a lowly knave -
I must loudly protest
at this silly contest
Offering so many prizes
Of all shapes and sizes
An Apple in a day?
Says this blogger’s dismay
How can I compete?
By foul trick or treat?
Oh, Great and Might Problogger!
You big audience hogger.
At the witching hour -
Your posts I devour!
I delay sweet sleep,
To bleat like a sheep
Alas, as wise wisdom goes
And futile rhymes shows -
If thou cannot beat them
Then thou should join ‘em
My words I lay bare
for Darren to share…
Oh, Great and Might Problogger!
You big audience hogger.
Thanks for the fun,
I have to run.
With every great post
grows your reading host
I am one of these
So if it may please
with rhyme or treatise
On my bended knees
Oh hear my pleas
“Can I have an iPod – Please?”

Little traffic, little pennies, lots of ale
Darren stayed up late
Discovered linkbait
Now he laughs as inbounds swell!

My Problogger
(To be sung to the tune of “My Bonnie”)
My Pro-Blo-gger lies over the internet,
My Pro-Blo-gger shoots around thru the air,
My Pro-Blo-gger helps me write my ar-ticles
by my pool sitting on a lounge chair.
Thank you, thank you…
No autographs please. =)

Well this is my entry. I know its crap anyways
Problogger is the king of blogs
That leaves the rest far apart
I really Love Darren,
But Apart from his barren head,
There is nothing else that
Makes Me Laugh
Kudos to Darren,
for Helping me much more

I don’t know what I’m doing
I really haven’t a clue
That’s why I’m visiting ProBlogger
Absorbing what Darren do.
If I study all of his tips
And following his blogging advice
Then maybe I’ll be a ProBlogger
Which would be really nice.

Darren made a blog.
Darren liked it.
Other people blogged.
Other people liked it.
Darren had a contest.
The contest was a rhyming blog.
This blogger can not rhyme.
So he talks about fog.
The blog is foggy.
The fog is blogged.

Problogger is great,
And Darren is wise,
All these great poems,
Make me want to reprise.
So when you’re getting lonely,
Or when you’re feeling down,
Come visit Darren on problogger,
And you can blog without a frown.

Just looking for a daisy
I sounded very baisy*
And then I found a rose
Got lost for a semana **
My head in a bandana
Wondering who is ana ***
‘Til I met Darren Rowse
* Baisy = just to respect the rhythm, basically meant to be ‘busy’.
** Semana = ‘week’ in Spanish.
*** Ana = ‘me’ in Arabic.
I rockS in creativity. :D

Ode to ProBlogger
Darren, the ProBlogger, started it all :
he proved that passionate writing is all you need
plus a bit of persistence and technical sense
(likely about Wordpress or AdSense)
for you to make more than a buck –
lots of them really — and make others utter,
‘Wow, just a blogger? What luck!’

Nadin
October 5th, 2007 10:05 am
Oh’ those addictions
to the profound predictions
by pros galore
without a clue to the parlor
spreading the virus of mediocrity
like a husband of promiscuity
without a care for the wife
nor a tear for the grief
and then rose from the waste
a figure we came to trust
a shinning ring to behold
a blogging tale to be told
And we paused
on our frantic run for the gold
and we perused
the nuggets of sense he told
he walked the walk
he talked the talk
he spoke the speak
and dazzled we watched, tranced in the magick
This one is for Darren
the problogger who doesn’t feign
the one who turned
the beer charged dreams of Friday
to a reality of everyday

The harder I think, the harder it is…
to use the word ProBlogger — it’s like a quiz.
Should it be in a clause?
For a moment I paused,
but decided against it.
No, that just wouldn’t fit.
So I started again with the man behind the game,
but alas I’m loss, this is no claim to fame!

Choose my poem, give me the nod
Make me a winner, I’d love an ipod

“The First Post”
When Darren first wrote a post,
he wasn’t sure what would be,
It was fun and games and a way
to be seen.
When he first wrote a post,
there was goodness within,
It was curiosity and joy and a way
to fit in.
When he first wrote a post,
his eyes opened bright,
he realized a passion
and his soul DID ignite.
When he first wrote a post,
a change took place,
a journey began,
an Aussie in first place. :)

Problogger is from the Land Down Under
He makes his living not by pillage and plunder
but by blogging, either by word or video
He has a lot to say
so stop by and say “Hey”

Oh Darin make haste in linking my blog,

But when he wears a dress; we call him Karen.
Karen blogs away,
Every single day,
On a blog for single women who are barren.
Oh yes – it is needlessly insulting.

There once was a blogger name Darren,
Who had a box to keep his hair in.
Because like your’s truly,
His hair was unruly,
So he shaved it to keep it from scarin’.

Ok, here’s my shot at poetry… :-)
Twas the Eve before the contest deadline
and everyone was writing fast
taking a virtual pen to hand
and contributing to the birthday blast!
But what to write about
what to write indeed
Will it be about Darren, Problogger.net,
or even how to make mead
Nah, Blogging is important,
but from what I can tell
It’s the community aspect that makes
everyone come out of their shell.
With writers like CheapGirl and SweetGain,
Turtle King and Busy Mom
Little old me doesn’t stand a chance
because these guys are the bomb
As I try to write a poem
in my den by the piano,
Could I win the Shuffle, the Touch,
or even the Nano.
I’m hoping I can win
just one of those prizes
because iPods, of course,
come in all sorts of colors and sizes.
But even if I don’t win
I’m really not that worried
These are the writings of a community,
They’re public and not “dugg”…errr..buried.
So Happy Birthday, ProBlogger
and Darren, don’t be a mouse
for this Birthday isn’t over yet,
LET’S ROCK THIS HOUSE!
Woo Hoo!!
Happy Birthday, ProBlogger!

Don’t feel blue,
With some help from the blog barren,
His name is Darren,
You’ll be an expert too!

Yo Yo, check out the Pro, cuz he is like my bro

well you know cuz its enough said, the king dominates the tough dead.
However, the gangster always nominates.

Nothing artificial

The world changed
Computers reigned
Darren was blog king
Only his smiling
Left everyone trying
Then one day the castle
Of what we knew with no hastle
Came out from the night
To all beings delight
There was joy from the height
As all were now in the light

54,000 dollars in prizes
Should make you believe it.

and even gave tips to Chow
He is the wisest of all bloggers

Anyone can start a blog
But if you wish to be a star
You can’t just write about your dog
You must instead set yourself apart.
If thoughts of this fill you with dismay
Do not despair, you have Darren
In word and video clips you play
He’ll guide you to profit, amen.
Problogger is the site for you
If making money is your goal
Be sure you have the patience to
Work hard with all your heart and soul.

There was a bald dude called Pro Blogger
Whose post gave us oodles of fodder
He helped us make money
And his jokes were quite funny
But Darren he never plays Frogger

Is it possible
That someone like you,problogger
Could complete me?
You’re the only one I want
The only one I think about
The only one I truly love
You’ve treated me wrong sometimes
As I’ve done the same
But everyone makes mistakes
And your not one of mine
Be with me for the rest of time
I’ll give you my heart
And you give me your mind

Friends that watch your back
Friends that play with your heart
All act the same from the start
Before you know it some disappear
Others stay beside you for life
Those are the problogger
The best friends

I am jealous of Darren
I admit, I can’t stop starrin
At the blog empire he grew,
Since back in 2002
How did he do it?
He saw right through it.
The money potential of blogging!
Thank goodness for Problogger’s insight
Every blogger’s Delight!
Thanks Darren!

I never heard about problogger before
now I’m addicted, I can’t resist anymore
Darren? Who’s that man?
I’m a geek as much as I can.
This poem seems to be senseless and ridiculous?
Of course, it is.

Searching for an Ode to Poetry
I stumble upon a man named darren
born a peasant of chaferty
he was lacking wealth and women
I informed him of a wizard, wise
and of he set upon his quest
to search for a wizard, wise
through the woods he went
stopping only to log wood for fire
fifty years later still no wizard, wise
yet he was now a problogger

Even down in Sri Lanka,
The island paradise of Lanka (check it out)
We still hear of Problogger
The best of internet web loggers
But oh, he’s not that haughty and proud
Dispenses his blog Karate by the pound
Gives us advice that is quite sound
May the help he gives come around
He helps us amateurs on our feet
he helps us beginners design our sheets
Darren is a most incredible guy
He’s also cute too; He’s my kind of guy!

at his website I just can’t stop starin

up the seo river he’s rowing

The screen within a frame within a frame
Doesn’t seem social at all;

For why I want to stare at a wall?

Thanks to Problogger and Darren
This screen has found another use.

Ode to Darren
Darren Rowse the blogging king
Took rookie bloggers under his wing
He Taught them the ropes
And gave them great hopes
They they too could succeed with monetizing
ProBlogger dot net is the number one site
Where beginners learn blogging late at night
Ads and widgets, readers and posts
Though quite successful, he never boasts
Humble and wise, godfather of blogs
And now he rewards us with shiny iPods

Thousand of presents to give away,
But only one present he put in my pocket,
Hopefully it is the best Ipod Nano!

In my head I am a pro
And master of SEO
My adsense brings me income
And ProBlogger beings inspiration
Like Darren I will be
Successful, cool and free
To write while drinking coffee
And my local cafe shopp-y
At the top of Technorati
And Dugg till I am batty
I win the Blogging cup!
Oh dear… I just woke up
Craig
October 5th, 2007 8:04 pm
Good on you great monetizing site,
On google’s terms you make your fight;
Great feed of all the problogger race,
Above them now you take your place.
Digg, technorati and stumbleupon
Resound with pings and links thereon.
Comments we write to take a prize,
Enough to blur and damage eyes;
For earlier monitors we did not win,
And thinking that no little sin
We post again in comments rhyme,
And meter too with poor design.
Lucy

Darren, Darren, he’s the man
(Whether or not my poem will scan)

Get him to feed you
A post every day
Your blog will get better, you know that its true.

Of SpyJournal fame
We have never met in person
But are friends all the same
See I was trying out
This fad call blogging
Tim said its more than a game
Blogging is not a fad
It’s here to stay
People make a living
In this digital world
Publishing their own word
Tim advise, “Check out problogger
A site by Darren Rowse.”
Problogger showed the way
Follow these rules
And you can make your pay
In the comfort of pajamas
Sitting at your computer all day
I have yet to make a dime
But Darren must be doing ok
For it’s Problogger’s birthday
And good ol’ Darren
Is giving $54,000 away

Darren is a pro-blogger.
And that is true.
He helps us all blog well.
Yes that means me and you.
With down to earth blogging.
And advice we need to take.
We should all just follow him
Like a religion for Blog-ness sake.
So he helps all these bloggers.
Of all shapes and all sizes.
He even runs some great old games.
Where we can win loads of prizes.
So with all the good things.
On pro-blogger I shall plunder.
I shall listen to our man Darren.
Even if he is from the land down under.
So as this poem does near end.
Perhaps an Ipod I shall have won.
But if it doesnt come to pass.
Writing this ode was still some fun.

I hunger for an iPod.

My knowledge of blogging is few
There’s so much to learn
My brain feels burned
Can this old dog learn anything new?
I started my blog as a way to not have to send a ton of postcards and end up leaving people out. I picked the easiest platform I could find and am now wanting to try to make some money from it. That’s my story.

Definitely, no others are as keen.

October is fine on its own
with crimson leaves and pumpkins sown
but then you find
when you’re all alone
a Problogger contest that awakens your mind
it’s hard for a writer to write some clips
it’s easier to read Darren’s fantastic tips
you image your poem will rise the ranks
and Darren will post to give you thanks
a shiny new Ipod will find a home
in that worn back pocket that once held a comb

While to some its just seems extreme,
Darren’s living the Problogger dream,
He works from noon till night,
Writing content to put us all right.
Darren you are watched in awe,
As you write content without flaw,
Helping those who need help the most,
Even telling us how frequently to post.
From early morning til time to write,
Darren browses his favourite websites,
Finding topics that help and inspire,
It won’t be long before he retires.
This ode is not witty,
Nor is it very pretty,
But its made its point quite well,
We all think you are kinda swell.

Darren is quite the Problogger
And video post generator.
Some people may say that he’s ‘”bats”,
But it’s ’cause he has so many hats.
If your link love is begging for hosting,
Then scheme for a little guest posting.
Soon your traffic you see will be soaring
And your income streams filled to overflowing.
(I know, don’t give up my day job…but wait, I don’t have one.)
Adam Graham

The last of their kind,
The remaining hairs
On Darren’s head.
