Why Submit Parodies to Webster?

So you've just completed your first Parodeity. Now what? Well, why not share it with the rest of the world by putting it up on the Internet? Others will be able to see your work and heap lots of glory on you for your amazing work! If you've got your own home page on the world wide web, it's a fairly trivial matter to put your parodies up there and make them available for all to see. A few announcements in a newsgroup like rec.music.christian and thousands of people will be flocking to your site (okay, not really, most of the folks in rec.christian.music despise parodies and you'd be more likely to be flamed than praised by going this route, but you get the basic idea).

Well, that's the general idea, anyway. Of course, on the Internet today, your home page is lost in the billions of pages out there and the likelihood that someone will find your page in all the noise is rather low. And who will wade through 100 pages of search results on Altavista or Google to find your page?

One solution is to submit your parodies for publication on Webster's "Not Invented Here" page. The "Not Invented Here" page contains tons of parodies written by Webster visitors just like you. Webster gets thousands of visitors every day (it's been averaging nearly one million visitors/year for the past couple of years) and gets great placement in most popular search engines (e.g., search for "Christian Parodies" in either Altavista or Google).

Since early 2001 when I placed my first parodies up on Webster, the Webster Christian Resources site has grown to become the largest site on the internet for publishing Christian parodies of secular tunes. So you can get some great exposure for your parodies by having me place them on Webster. All I need from you is a copy of the parody and permission to publish the parody on Webster (i.e., a non-exclusive license) and permission to send someone your email address if they explicitly request copyright information about your parody (note that I do not publish email addresses, other than my own, on Webster; I only send out email addresses by your permission and in response to a request for copyright information; alternately, you can place your work in the public domain and I won't bother you at all).

If you would prefer to publish your parodies on your own web site but would still like to take advantage of Webster's popularity, send me a link to the page containing your parody (ies) and I will add the link to Webster's "Not Even Here" page. Since Webster visitors will be going directly from Webster to your parody page(s), be sure to provide a link to your home page on each of your parody pages; one song per HTML page, please (note: do not rely on the user hitting the "back arrow" to return from your parody pages to your main page; this doesn't work when someone is visiting your site from another web site).

If you've got other material that might be of interest to people who like Parodeities, send me your URL(s) and I'll try to add them to Webster's Christian Resources links list.
