LATEST NEWS:
After 18 months of research, the partnership between Australian Advertising Agency (Amnesia Group Pty Ltd) and Prof. Olaf Prilo PHD from the Mind and Brain Institute of New South Wales have released findings on a genuine breakthough in online advertising. The result is a revolutionary method of gaining consumer trust through high frequency (90fps) banner adverts which stimulate specific regions of the visual cortex (Visual area V5/MT) producing instant effects on consumers.

The Amazing Facts from viewing a TrustBanner:
- 87.9% average increase of product desire in test subjects.
- 76.4% switched brands after seeing a single TrustBanner
- 63% purchased consumable products within 7 days.
- No Click / CTA required. Can be applied to any banner ad.

SEE IT IN ACTION: The first live TrustBanner ads will be deployed into the Australian online marketplace at 12.01am on April 1 2008, and rolled out internationally over the following 24 hours.


If this stuff is for real it's pretty rude! What do people think of this being implemented?


Edit: lol I just noticed the date of their 'rollout' is April 1st...hmmm...it has to be an April Fools Joke! Move along people, nothing to see here... icon_rolleyes

Yep I just realised Olaf Prilo is an anagram for April Fool also....hahaha nice one!

Thanks guys, initially I completely forgot it was approaching April 1st (dates are a bit hazy for me over here at times!) which led to me falling for it...I'm just glad I worked it out and edited my post before any of you vultures could well and truly let me have it!  teef

for not deleting your post!

I don't think I have the power to delete a topic anyway, it's a mod privilege!

I knew you could delete your own posts but I'm not much of a topic starter so not too familiar with privileges in that regard.

I noticed a few other funny April Fools jokes on the net, at Youtube if you clicked on any of the Featured Videos on the front page you got 'Rick-Rolled' when it diverts you to this:
