In a time where everybody uses internet to buy, sell and even meet people, the online ads are being used by major companies to promote their business, but online ads are also used by politicians.

The U.S. Senator Harry Reid is using online ads for his 2010 re-election campaign. The ads were placed on Google at the beginning of June. When a user from Nevada is searching the web, the Reid’s ads appear as a series of sponsored links.

The interested side of Reid’s ads is that users are re-directed to a new website where they can read an article or interview about Senator Reid. Users don’t know that they’ve been sent there because of a online paid ad.
