West Simsbury, CT (PRWEB) March 30, 2008 -- The Web Marketing Association, host of leading website awards competition WebAwards (WebAward08.org (http://www.webaward.org/bestwebsites.asp?gad=CLuN0dkDEgiWfXzHcjWjThi6nML_AyC33JU2)), released the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR) to help the sports 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. "Sports websites have become an essential part of supplying fanatic fans with the most up-to-date sports information. The sites have done well expanding to offer retail items as well."
The WebAwards competition judges sports websites on seven criteria that combined create award-winning websites:
? Design
? Innovation
? Content
? Technology
? Interactivity
? Copywriting
? Ease of use
Sports Web sites have significantly outperformed the ISAR index in each of the last six years. Content is the driving force behind most sports Web sites. They also score well in design, copywriting, and ease of use. Sports sites are one of the few Web sites that outperformed the 5-year criteria benchmark averages in every category except interactivity which it tied.
The 2007 WebAward for Best Sports website went to bbdigital (Blattner Brunner) for the Golf Pride Website.
