Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])

“Buying keyword-based ads is a common tactic in modern presidential campaigning, using Google’s feature that allows advertisers to buy the top placement on results pages when users search for a particular word or phrase. The ads appear similar to regular search results, though they carry an ‘ad’ label with a ‘paid for by’ disclaimer underneath.

Campaigns have been utilizing this strategy since at least the 2004 presidential campaign, often by purchasing ads for searches of their own candidate’s name, or for particular policies. But since he entered the race last month, Mr. Bloomberg has shown what a virtually bottomless advertising budget can do: buying his way into the hottest political conversations of the moment. (A search asking the question ‘Who can beat Trump’ returns ads for Mr. Bloomberg as well.)”

– Nick Corasaniti, _The New York Times_
