Default John McCain ad

Wonder how much the McCain team paid for the internet ad here on Steve Pavlina World Affairs? Anyone seen it?

Most of the Google ads are context-sensitive, meaning that Google selects ads for each page based on what it thinks the page is about. So the more you post about McCain here, the more of his ads Google is likely to serve up.

Haha, as I'm reading this, it's on the side right now...McCain just seems like another Bushian though, so no clicky for me.

Ah, I see how it works. So if you're a McCain supporter, you'd write "McCain" a million times over and over because writing "McCain" would make the links appear that say "McCain" and you'd essentially be endorsing McCain.

... McCain.

Subjective reality?

Your not really endorsing him that way.
When google shows the ads and people like Dan click every McCain ad that reduces the amount of McCain Ads elsewhere.
