Car crash statistics?

unknown

I an doing an essay about cars and need references can anyone tell me good websites to check out like news websites?

Answer
Lots and lots of accident info from the Census Bureau:
http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/transportation/motor_vehicle_accidents_and_fatalities.html

Tons of info from the NHTSA (click links at the top for driving safety, vehicle safety, research and data): http://www.nhtsa.gov/

Perform your own statistical analysis at the NHTSA "Fatality Analysis Reporting System:"
http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main

The IIHS has lots of info:http://www.iihs.org/

For example, why texting bans aren't working: http://www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr092810.html

And teenagers suck at driving (old people are actually safer):
http://www.iihs.org/research/fatality_facts_2008/teenagers.html

Of course, if you're going to talk about safety, you need to include distracted driving and why cell phones (hands-free OR hand-held) aren't safe to use:
http://www.distraction.gov/stats-and-facts/index.html
http://statehighwaysafety.org/html/publications/pdf/sfdist11.pdf
http://www.distraction.gov/research/PDF-Files/Passenger-Cellphone-Conversations.pdf
http://www.fnal.gov/pub/traffic_safety/files/NSC%20White%20Paper%20-%20Distracted%20Driving%203-10.pdf

That should give you something to do between now and lunch. If you need more, just let me know!

Please advice on best and safe car seat for 1 year old.?

i read the artilce in the above link but it is not for atleast 22 pound baby. my baby is only 21 and he outgrew his current carseat according to height limit.
thanks....

Answer
the link was for booster seats, and your 1 year old is nowhere near ready for a booster! :)

id recommend a convertible seat, so that your little guy can remain rear facing for another year or so. just about all convertible seats now go to 35+ lbs for rear facing. my son was 25lbs at 1 year and made it to almost 2.5 rear facing before he hit 35lbs, so you're little one shouldn't have a problem going beyond that!

i have the true fit car seat and i love it! its comfortable, and it has a very high back so that kids grow out of it by weight before height (at 2.5 years, he had a good 4" above his head still!)

but really - any convertible car seat would work for your son, pretty much., it just depends on your budget, and what fits well in your car.

What are your suggestions to market a website?

rykkardo8

The website sells conveyors and conveyor components internationally. I am looking for free or very low cost actions.

Answer
Some ideas:

1. Offer the best products you can. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends.

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area. Read "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website.

6. Syndicate your content with RSS feeds. This is like an autopilot way of driving traffic to a site. If you've got a feed that users want, then they will come to your site

7. Search engine advertising. When doing PPC, monitor your ROI carefully and watch your keywords

8. Offline advertising - from car stickers with your site URL to press interviews to networking in your business community

How do you feel about a Toyota Yaris?

borabora

I'm considering buying one. I'm doing research but I'd like to know more about the Yaris, preferably from someone who owns one.

Answer
I think it seems to be a good car for the amount you pay for.
Reliable, Cheap, Stylish, Good Value...

The Hatchback & Sedan Are The Same When It Comes Down To Safety.

But you should take a look at the real safety scores for them..

Smaller the car, the bigger the risk.
