I pulled together a top 10 list of each of the keywords that the candidates are targeting in their search marketing campaign. (See http://www.searchmarketingmaven.com/what-are-obama-clinton-and-mccain-doing-with-search-engine-marketing/) As of March 2008, Obama, Clinton, and McCain are all actively engaging in PPC search marketing. Top words for Obama and Clinton focused on their names and local searches (e.g. texas election) while McCain has branched out to search marketing on issue oriented keywords like taxes, global warming, etc. It’s very interesting to now revisit the internet aspect of the presidential campaigns, and take a look at the type of search marketing each of these candidates are doing.

They are doing the same thing for 2008 for the US elections and Barack is the clear winner so far. The only thing that isn't accounted for is the 'ancients' who are not and will never be on the internet because they missed the boat a long time ago (probably with the 60s as well). I am predicting that in five years, we will have voting via an uber secure .gov website. i didnt spend time to read all the comments, but Tom B., I am sorry but it is about the internet…. people have access to tons more information and are actually getting interested in the beliefs and opinions of the candidates…. linkinfluence.net tracked the blogosphere for the french elections of 2007 and they were spot on with the winner.

We are in the internet age and the candidate that give efforts to target younger audiences will find it more beneficial; gaining more visibility brings out the younger voters and thus a larger audience.
