Obama Campaign : We use SEO to minimize our PPC spends
August 28, 2008
Evidently it appears that Barack Obama is really getting a good grip on online marketing, to the point where they refine their PPC spends due to increasing Organic Rankings….
The Obama campaign says it continually works to optimize its search marketing to maximize effectiveness. “Thanks to our millions of online supporters who frequently visit our Web site and other social-networking sites, unlike other campaigns, BarackObama.com already has extremely high organic search engine rankings, which helps us limit the number of terms where we need to use paid advertising to have a presence,” Nick Shapiro, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, said in an email.
Incredible stuff… now only if the other 99.9999% of the companies, ad agencies and marketing firms followed Obama’s lead… Great vindication for Tribble coming in from the Obama Camp…
Joseph Biden is Obama’s Vice President
August 22, 2008
Both Evan Bayh and Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine have been told by Barack Obama they will not be his vice presidential choice a few minutes ago..
Earlier, we had a lead that Kathleen Sebelius is going to be the vice president.. our source still maintains their position..
Edit : the same source has stated that there is a minor internal war going on within the campaign regarding the decision… hence the delay…. again… always speculation until it’s announced..
Edit 2 : looks like the Biden Camp has won… As the Secret Service has just been dispatched to his house..
Edit 3: We got the text Message at 3 AM — It’s Joseph Biden….
Barack Obama chooses Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President
August 18, 2008
There is an update to this post Please review the update….
We have a credible lead that Barack Obama will be announcing Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President / VP.
Our sources work within an ad agency that is hired by the Obama campaign, and have noted that the vast majority of the discussions there are regarding material logistics in terms of Kathleen on the vice president ticket. Now until this is verified please file it as rumor, however our sources on this are not bad.. and have yet to be proven wrong.
Our source noted “It will get a women on the ticket that shares the same views as Obama” a reference to many of the Hillary supporters..
Then of course we had to do some research.
We held some general opinions prior to this little research project. One of them being that they wouldn’t have multiple domain providers, it becomes a hassle.. so the chances are they used the same registrar.
The Main BARACK OBAMA site is using Godaddy as their registrar and uses DomainControl.com as their DNS… pretty generic.. as anyone can pretty much do that…
Now were it get’s interesting is the other contenders…
Domain Name: BARACKOBAMA.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: NS05.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS06.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
It appears OBAMASEBELIUS.COM is owned by the Obama Campaign, and the ‘hidden’ registration will turn into a website after the announcement. Our lead noted that a site is already being designed .. and advertising agencies are always full of leaks. Again file as rumor until verified…
We will compare the evidence we are allowed to show you without anyone getting fired.
So lets compare our suspect:
Domain Name: OBAMASEBELIUS.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: NS03.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS04.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
So far a perfect match for Kathleen Sebelius
But let’s research this more as there are other contenders out there that could have the exact same output. Let’s look at Joe Biden.
Domain Name: OBAMABIDEN.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: NS19.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS20.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Sounds good so far.. until you see this:
Registrant:
LYLE DEAN
1571 CHURCH ST
SAN FRANCISCO, California 94131
United States
That’s a show stopper… because there is no way that Obama would allow this to happen with the domain name owned by someone else with unknown political views that could turn it into a porn site.
So let’s check Senator Evan Bayh, as a potential candidate.
Domain Name: OBAMABAYH.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: NS1.COFFEYDESIGN.COM
Name Server: NS2.COFFEYDESIGN.COM
Nameservers don’t match, and to make it worse.. the site goes to an RSS parser.. and nothing more.
So let’s try Tim Kaine
Domain Name: OBAMAKAINE.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: CPNS01.SECURESERVER.NET
Name Server: CPNS02.SECURESERVER.NET
Nameservers don’t match as well… however the registrar does.
This is possible, however unlikely. The chances are the same group that built BARACKOBAMA.COM will be building the new site. So the chances are that they are all going to be roughly identical.
This evidence isn’t conclusive with what is currently available, but the signs do point to Kathleen Sebelius.
Now coupled that with the lead we got.. and we feel there is well over a 50% chance that she will be Obama’s vice president.
Enjoy the speculation.

New Obama “pocket ad” calls McCain the oil man
August 4, 2008
Barack Obama goes on the attack with a new ad tying John McCain to big oil, it’s actually a pretty good retort to John McCain’s Anti-Christ Ad
John McCain launches Obama “AntiChrist” attack ad
August 1, 2008
Dear Huffington Post Readers : You know we didn’t have anything to do with this ad … and in fact Mara Vanderslice has been actively trying to get the slander removed from the post… since it accuses us (for whom we are mostly Obama supporters) of actually working for McCain…
We feel this ad is literally garbage… and we want it pulled off the net as well.
John needs a new advertising agency, many Barack Obama supporters consider this an outrage.
This ad caters to the people that call Obama the AntiChrist (note: there are nearly 1000 comments on that thread)
McCain pushes out ad : The Media is in love with Barack Obama
July 22, 2008
John McCain launches “The Media is in love with Barack Obama” ads. Honestly John, if you want the media to trust you… this is not the right way to go about it. It’s blatantly a very sarcastic slam on them… you know.. the guys that write stories about you for the world to see…
