aussie address on every page
links from aussie websites likely to be your best bet
personalisation - get people to google for your brand
can you target to aus in webmaster tools from a co.uk?
do you see any UK (or any foreign) websites ranking in aus for similar or competitive terms? Can you identify how they did it?

i think that you have to have a physical business presence in Australia to be able to get an .au domain name. I know that we have not been able to buy one.

IMO,
I would acquire either a .com.au domain or a .com with a subfolder targeting Australia. why ? multiple reasons:
- Results that will appear on google.com.au will show relevant sites with .com.au and .com (very rarely a .co.uk)...
- a New site dedicated to a region will let you more control over its link building, content that is oriented to AU
- and its simply difficult for a .co.uk to compete with local and .com site for the niche you are in.

Building Page Rank
I have a situation where there is a product category page with multiple products listed linking to individual product pages. The pages been around some time with no change. The strange thing is although page rank is reasonable on the category page it doesn't seem to be passing any rank to the individual product pages. Any ideas to swing the roundabouts on this? Thanks

Best Way to Market a White Paper
Hello everyone, I had to write a white paper for an entirely different purpose than to drive links, but it did come out very well and I think it would be a fantastic tool in my SEO efforts. What do you guys think is the best way to market a white paper? Obviously I will let our email subscribers know about it and place a link to it in a prominent place on the website, but if anyone has any extra ideas, I would love to hear them. Also, what is the best way to host it? Taking the Moz beginners guide for example, I would love to just put it on my server like http://static.seomoz.org/files/SEOmoz-The-Beginners-Guide-To-SEO-2012.pdf but is it necessary that I make it web-friendly like http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo? Can the former do anything for SEO? What if there are links to and from the site? Any advice would be great. Thanks

Best way to index backlinks
We have created many high authority back links for our clients and after several months we have noticed 10% or so have actually been indexed (via multiple sources). I am trying to find a way to easily get these backlinks indexed. There is a bunch of software out there, some create RSS feeds and others social bookmark these pages. Any suggestions?
