Best Automobile Website Trends Detailed in New Report from the Web Marketing Association

West Simsbury, CT (PRWeb) March 20, 2007 -- The Web Marketing Association, host of leading website awards competition WebAwards, released the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR) to help the automobile industry create more effective and engaging websites.

"As the standard of excellence for websites continues to increase, consumers (and WebAward judges) are increasingly picky about what they consider to be an effective website," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association, Inc. "Auto Websites continue to be effective because they recognize that web-savvy customers prefer to engage in online research in the privacy of their home and make it easy for them to do so."

The WebAwards competition judges automobile websites on seven criteria that combined create award-winning websites:
•    Design
•    Innovation
•    Content
•    Technology
•    Interactivity
•    Copywriting
•    Ease of use

The automobile industry is one of the few that has beaten the overall ISAR Index in each of the competition's ten years.

According to the ISAR Study, the automobile industry is strongest in content, interactivity and design. Auto websites outperformed the 3-year criteria benchmark averages in each of the seven categories.

The 2006 WebAward for Best Automobile Web site went to Nobox Marketing Group for Una Noche IS.

Other past winners include:
--2005 Arnold Worldwide for Volkswagen 2005
--2004 Oasis for Toyota Scion
--2003 Jaguars Cars/Global Beach Group for The all-new XJ
--2002 Critical Mass/Mercedes-Benz for MBUSA.com

A complete list of past winners can be found at auto.webaward.org

Companies and organizations wishing to have their automobile Web site evaluated against the ISAR Index and be considered for a WebAward, which can help boost a Website's credibility and marketing efforts, can learn more at www.07webaward.org.
