Did anyone notice the Barack Obama ad on my blog? I was surprised to see it. I don't deal with advertising and I haven't asked The Star staff how online ads are placed. I do know that many ads are placed by a larger company, like google, and they are placed based off of key words on a blog.
I was very flattered that my blog attracted enough attention to get an ad from a presidential campaign. Both of the campaigns seem to be advertising all over the internet.
The ad uses a widget that displays current news stories from the campaign. Funny enough I have ran this widget for free!

Side note: How many of you play poker? I am thinking of hosting a Dennert blog readers online tournament. The only thing wagered would be pride. No money is at stake.

Brian Dennert V Flap?
Poker

How about us going up to Chumash and playing a real game?
By the way, I'll be heading back to Las Vegas to watch a few days of the World Series of Poker on Tuesday.
Congratulations Brian! I know you have been a long time Obama supporter so it must be really exciting for you.
Flap,
I figured online people could maintain their secret blog names.
Who knows? You could be playing against a city council member, a staff member for a local elected official, or just someone that leaves comments on my blog.
Also, I am cheap.
