SEOMoz on ORM for Politicians

Not much to report this week as far as online rep management goes, but I did catch a cool post on SEOMoz about reputation management and politics. It definitely seems to be catching some steam (as I have mentioned on here previously). There are some good comments left by people in the SEO industry on the SEOMoz post - apparently many of them are a bit averse to jumping into the lovely world of politics. I for one look at it like an opportunity to take on a leading role in an area of SEO that has barely been explored. Plus, it's kinda exciting isn't it? More fun than blue widgets and AdSense publishing. Enjoy your mom's basement (or the large house you now live in thanks to SEO) you goddamn nerds!

This will undoubtedly be the last election we see in America where growing, fostering, and protecting their online reputation is not something that our politicians concern themsevles with. Much like the way that print, radio and TV all had their dawning in this realm, the internet, and more specifically the search engines, are coming to the battlefront come 2008.
