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:

* Frank Schilling, Seven Mile: Paid-Search , Domain Name Growth , Spurt in 4 Year Cycles ?
* Clayton Benton, Campaign 2008 - PPC

    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
