Let’s stay away from politics when discussing this one … I just thought it was a funny and innovative way to use Google AdWords. Yesterday, Jack Burkman, a powerful conservative pundit, was outed as appearing in the notorious DC Madam’s phone list. Well, earlier today, if you Googled him, you would have seen he was trying to use Google in a campaign to drive you to his website, to address the allegations.
Like I said, let’s stay apolitical, but if you want to get into a political discussion, head over to ThinkProgress, where I found this story initially. BTW, I doubt he would have thought of this himself. Most likely some young and tech-savvy staffer (heh). At any rate, it appears they a) realized people were writing / blogging about this, b) that it cost them each time the link was clicked on, as it’s gone now.
