There's a lot of news coverage at the moment about the Russian ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko. Doctors have identified the poison as Polonium. Here's the Technorai graph showing the increase in blog traffic relating this search…

So there's clearly a lot of interest in this story as blogs and news-related sites discuss the ongoing developments on this case.

Firstly, the good thing is that you can't buy Polonium on Ebay - but you can buy spare time and lottery numbers.

The Times Online website has latched onto this story, realising that a lot of people are searching to find out more about it. So, as shown, they have a tactical PPC ad with Polonium as a keyword. Smart.
