In honor of election day (fellow Americans, we hope you all voted!), here is a comparison of the two campaigns in terms of online marketing and search engine optimization.

Hubspot’s Website Grader report is pretty impressive - it covered the websites of the major candidates (before the primaries), and showed the Democrats had a slight edge in terms of SEO.  It also covered how the candidates were/are using social media and blogs to reach voters.

Ten Golden Rules predicts a winner using SEO metrics.

E-Strategy talks about online branding in the 2008 presidential race.

Finally, Grokdotcom holds up Obama’s campaign as an example of online marketing done well - you can learn from his efforts regardless of your personal political beliefs.

Here’s to a new president by tomorrow!
