Outstanding Creative Activism

Over in Quick Hits, Neil the Ethical Wereworlf provides a link to saxby-chambliss.com, a website he put up on the Georgia Senate campaign. Neil seems to have done it on his own, first by purchasing a URL the Chambliss campaign foolishly let slip by, and second simply by producing some very cool content for the website.

To top it off, multiple commenters in the thread have indicated they will redirect their personal Google Ads on the Georgia Senate campaign toward the page. It is a remarkable confluence of the Personal Paid Media campaign and some great work by Neil. Fantastic, outstanding, creative grassroots activism.

Well done Neil. And well done WI Dem and Brian Weatherson who are running Google Ads on the Georgia Senate campaign. If you want to start running Google Ads for a campaign this year, click here for great guide on how to do so. And, if you want to support Jim Martin, hop on over to the Better Democrats page, and drop in a few dollars.

Domain names really matter (4.00 / 1)
I was first to throw up a web-based Sarah Palin markov chain generator, but interviewpalin.com thought of a better better domain name and got good SEO first. Oh well.

Conduct your own interview of Sarah Palin!

The site design is clean and inviting, and the text you've written is funny and engaging.  Well done.

I'd suggest publishing a gmail address at the bottom and just see what kind of response you get.  Angry wingnut mail should be entertaining.

well done indeed (4.00 / 2)
in other news, we are doing our own google adwords campaign (with some crazy geo-targeting) for four state senate races here in NY. the initial results are pretty damn good so far (we've budgeted $2K for the campaign, btw) and we'll be sharing the results for everybody after E-day.

but yeah, this is indeed outstanding creative activism.

kick ass.

It's time:the albany project.

Thanks for linking this, Chris! (4.00 / 6)
And thanks to my fellow philosopher Brian Weatherson and to WI Dem for Google ad help.  I think it increases your quality score with the google ads if the site you're linking has the search keywords in its URL.  

"Neil seems to have done it on his own, first by purchasing a URL the Chambliss campaign foolishly let slip by, and second simply by producing some very cool content for the website."

Yeah, that's basically the story!

hey how do we drive up the listing in google searches? (0.00 / 0)
will this work?

Or do I need to do something  else?

The best way is to link to his site (0.00 / 0)
through your FaceBook page, blog, and any other kind of web page you maintain.

Brilliant, but please remember this everyone: (0.00 / 0)
DO NOT access Neil's website by clicking on his ad. This just uses up his budget needlessly.
