Spitzer's Google ad campaign

Email This Entry

Thus, whenever an Internet browser searched for news about American International Group (AIG), Spitzer's latest white-collar crime target, text ads for Spitzer's gubernatorial campaign (Spitzer2006.com) popped up. Spitzer blamed a "relatively low-level campaign staffer responsible for promoting Spitzer's campaign Web site."
