Sneak Peak At This Year’s Super Bowl Commercials

We all know that watching the commercials during the Super Bowl has become almost as big a deal as watching the game itself.  Want a sneak peak at some of this year's spots?  Or are you trying to remember that great commercial you saw from the past?

There are expected to be well over 100 million viewers of this year's game between the Packers and Steelers and once again rates for advertising have gone up. The cost of a 30 second commercial to be seen nationally on CBS is right around $3 million dollars. With that kind of cash on the line, companies are desperate to have the most talked about and liked commercials that stand out in our minds.

Check out the site www.SuberBowl-Ads.com.  There you can see every major Super Bowl ad since 1998, plus samples of this year’s ads and teasers about what your going to see.

Looks like some good stuff is coming from the likes of  GoDaddy, CareerBuilder, Bridgestone, HomeAway, E*Trade, Hyundai, Cars.com, Doritos, PepsiMax, Volkswagen, and more.

One of my favorite games to play during the game; how much did a company spend on their ads?  Get some paper (and maybe a calculator) and keep track of how many spots a certain company runs.  For every 30 seconds they are on you add another 3-million dollars to their tab.  Then take that total and remember it the next time you go shopping and wonder why you're paying $22 for a 12-pack and a bag of chips.
