MSNBC Driving Visitors to Donate to Clinton Campaign

[proud2BlibKansan]

Hillary Clinton's name on MSNBC's Meet the Press homepage (she spoke with Tim Russert Sunday) is currently hyperlinked directly to Clinton's campaign website, where visitors are prominently encouraged to "Drive Hillary's campaign to victory by donating today."

There is no contextual reason for this. The link, for example, is not an allusion to an aspect of her campaign's web presence or fundraising strategies. Rather, it's merely her name in the headline (see "Sen. Hillary Clinton" below, the hyperlink in question, under "Sunday, Jan. 13."): http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032608/

Click on Hillary's name on the MSNBC page (under January 13) and it takes you here: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/

1. not quite

They are just linking to her website, but they have no say on what she posts on there.

3. Interesting.

So her campaign is taking them directly to a donation page?

8. one of 2 things are probable

1. Most of the candidates have the donation page 1st come up

2. The Hillary website can see what page sent a visitor to that website and put up different pages for different visitors.

But I am pretty certain that MSNBC has nothing to do with it.

9. WOW i see you are correct

NO ONE EVER has linked to a product, personality, or any other type of web page from another site. This is pure evil.

:crazy:

10. LOL - so linking to Hillary's web site http://www.hillaryclinton.com/ is worse than

linking to Obama's when the story is about Obama?

12. Does a donation page come up first?
