I’m running an ad in Ohio
After Chris Bowers’ brilliant idea about how to run your own paid media campaign, I decided to give it a shot and personally run a google ad in Ohio. Heck, it’s a free country and I wanted to try to point people searching for information on John McCain to a cool site that shows his lobbyist connections. Here’s the ad as it’s running in Ohio right now.
This ad will show up for the search terms that Chris laid out in his post. After a day and a half, here are my results:
I’ve limited the ad run to $100/month, because I didn’t have an ad budget before yesterday…
Agree or disagree with my politics? Run your own ad! Google adsense makes it a breeze.

Love the adsense idea. We run them to advocate our non-profit. I tried to run the same type of ad in Ohio but couldn’t find a suitable link for the ad. When I googled “Obama no experience” it came back with 712,000+ results. I don’t have that much money.

Brilliant. Makes me think about Google’s relatively new service for running actual TV ads:

Maybe, in the future, citizens will take a much more active role in getting the word out for their candidate.
