Exact Match Domain Names

Has anyone had any luck with EMD since the Google update or found a workaround? I had around 60 domain names vanish after the update and I'm working to get ranked again by implementing some proven SEO methods (backlinks, quality content, etc). I realize that the days of buy an EMD and rank in a few days are probably gone, but what have you guys done to rank since the update? Have you had more luck with longtail urls like: yourdomain/product-you-are-promoting?
