As we’ve noted, John McCain’s campaign has indeed figured out YouTube, and he leads Barack Obama in total video views on his YouTube channel over the past month. Now, we’re told by the WSJ, the McCain camp has trumped Obama in search engine marketing.

In hindsight optimizing for those keywords seems a no brainer. Must be some serious pressure on teams to perform well in search areas they are covering.

I would figuire that the Obama team was all over these things. They are in fact " no brainers" . Makes you wonder whos running the SEO for Obama national campaign.

Well, this is nothing that the Obama team can’t set up in 5mins themselves. It’s just a few Adsense ads. Title of this submission is wrong - this is paid search not SEO.

@nickwilsdon your right it will take them 5 minutes to set it up. But the point is Mccain beat them to it. How could they allow them to do it first. Dont get me wrong Im for Obama. But it looks bad for them when its on WSJ. Thats my point. And yes your right title is wrong, supposed to be SEM. Thx for pointing it out!
