The client which was Tourism NT had a 1 minute commercial made in 3D and to be honest it was pretty good the effects were great and I can really see big things for the future of 3D TVC’s. The only thing I was worried about was the fact that the usage rates of 3D TV in Australia are quite low in comparison to overseas markets, yet I guess been an innovative ad campaign it wins all the award for innovation.

It is very common knowledge that if you have a exact match .com such as CarLoans.com.au and you want to rank on page 1 for Google it can be done quite quickly using an exact match domain, some decent unique content, a few pages design and also some local links, this is the key reason many people pay such large amtounf of money for exact match .com.au domains becuase they 1. know the domain will acquire around 5% direct type in traffic and 2. have the exact match SEO benefit. Yet alot of SEO’s are buzzing aroudn the traps saying that it is unfair that these domian are so powerful in the engines and their power should be dropped. I have seen this trend already taking place int he US serps results for exact match properties I own personally.
