Yesterday we talked about our study on the use of pay-per-click search in the presidential election.

We’re not alone. There are a lot of people covering the election with good takes on the search marketing angle.

Here’s a partial list of bloggers commenting on search in the 2008 Presidential campaign:

* Eric Frenchman, PardonMyFrench
* Straight Up Search, The 2008 Presidential Race Online & Personal - A Preface
* Frank Schilling, Seven Mile: Paid-Search , Domain Name Growth , Spurt in 4 Year Cycles ?
* Clayton Benton, Campaign 2008 - PPC
* Jonah Stein, Search Marketing for Political Candidates - Electronic Grass Roots
* Jake Matthews, 2008 Presidential Candidate Search Marketing Face-off » 10e20 …
* Scott Willoughby, SEOmoz | Whether DNC or RNC , Political Candidates need SEO
* Michael D Jensen, How do the Presidential Candidates Rate for SEO ?

    Steve,
    Thanks for the mention! I recently wrote another post about the “Ron Paul Effect” and whether or not his online success can effectively cross-over to the polls. You may find it of interest.

    Cheers,
    Scott
