How to Screw with Obama's Campaign

[Texas1911]

This is more satirical than advice. I happened to see a banner ad for Obama 2012 on YouTube (on my channel which I found comical).

The thought then popped up ...

1) Clicking on the ad costs Obama's campaign money.

2) Clicking on the ad will give them false hope of winning Texas

3) They'll think their ad is great when it has a 5.00% click through rate.

With enough people you could sap millions away from his campaign, if they think it's helping them.

So, where do I click?

how does clicking cost them money?

how does clicking cost them money?

Maybe they pay youtube per click from their site?

 

[Texan2]

many sites are pay per click

The pay-per-click system works on individual IP addresses, how long a specific IP stays on the site, how many "click throughs" and a number of other things are calculated before the bill goes out, so clicking the link multiple times wont drain Obamas bank unfortunatley.

I am sure their campaign being that big pays a set amount not per click

Knowing Google, it's probably a free ad.

So I shall click from all my computers, and leave the site up for a while when I go out. That should cost him something. Every little bit helps

10,000,000 people doing it would.
