The Importance of Having Your Song Lyrics Online
Over at Music Think Tank, Marcus Taylor tells a tale about how an obscure song he heard converted him into a fan.
Trouble is, at first, he had no idea what the song was. He couldn't find it anywhere. Through a bit of chance and dedication, he uncovered the song he was looking for.
The lesson: it's important to have your lyrics findable and searchable online. Fans like Taylor are going to be looking for them in Google. They need to be there.
Very good advice. Also: make sure any lyrics (like all text) on your site are plain HTML and not Flash so that you’re sure they can be copied/pasted by fans and indexed by search engines.
