The Tonkalicious Suzuki X-HEAD is already one of our favorite Tokyo ‘07 concepts, and not one of us has laid eyes on it in the metal. We hear the 4×4’s a dash over 12 feet long and is powered by a 1372cc engine, but that’s about it. For the rest, it seems we’ll have to wait. The new batch of photos we’ve obtained shows us that the plucky pickup can carry at least one dirt bike in back and that its bedsides flip down to reveal additional storage compartments. The matte charcoal tailgate matches the grillework, which receives the same finish. Inside, the “X” theme is carried through in the yellow portions of the seats (which do not look comfortable) and the shape of the harnesses. The letter “X” is so prevalent, we half expect to see this thing in the motor pool at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. We’ll bring you full coverage from Tokyo later in the month.

Modern cars are incorporating a variety of safety systems designed to help drivers avoid accidents and then, if an accident is unavoidable, to minimize the risk of injury. Until now, most of these have operated largely independently of each other, but Continental Automotive Systems (and its competitors) is trying to change that. At the Chicago Auto Show, Conti had a BMW 3-series equipped with its experimental Active Passive Integration Approach (APIA). APIA ties together the various safety systems to try and achieve a result greater than the sum of the parts.

Continental combined the radar inputs from the adaptive cruise control system and added a laser speed detector, the hydraulic control unit for the stability control, and then tied it all together with the air bag, seat belt tensioning, seat controls and window controls. The system detects the speed of the vehicle ahead and determines how fast you’re closing in. The system has various stages of operation depending on how quickly you approach the vehicle in front of you. There’s more about how the system works after the jump along with a video from Continental.

LinkAds
LinkAds are the staple of LinkWorth products.  Basic text links have made the internet what it is today allowing users to locate information and products with a single click.  LinkAds incorporate this basic form with an advertising touch and are strategically placed on relevant and similar themed websites to attract targeted visitors searching for related products and/or services.

LinkWords
LinkWords are one of most advanced products that are designed to attract targeted visitors on a per click basis.  Pay per click is a very popular form of online marketing, however, typical PPC ads are placed in areas that a reader will pass over to find the meat of a page.  In addition, the typical PPC ads are grouped with other similar advertiser ads creating added competition.

LinkPost
Blogging has become the new way to speak to an audience through the internet. Much like how Oprah Winfrey can make a new book or product by endorsing it, bloggers now have this power through their blogs. With each blogger, there will be a dedicated audience that wants to read and hear what the writer has to say. 99.9% of all blogs sell advertising in some fashion, so it only makes sense to use the bloggers to endorse products by blogging about them.

LinkInTxt
LinkIntxt is innovative product that integrates our LinkAd and LinkWord products.  The advantage to linking targeted keywords within a relevant page of content is two fold.  When a user reads a web page, the typical process is reading only what is available in the main body of content.  As the user is reading through the information, strategic placement of text links on keywords related to the advertiser website increases click thru ratios to unheard of percentages.  Along with high targeted click thru percentages come very high conversion rates.

LinkBB
A Billboard Link Ad, or as it’s called now, LinkBB, is a full page advertisement with text links embedded throughout the page.  With LinkWorth the very first company to offer such a LinkBB campaigns.  If used correctly, the LinkBB can be one of the more effective linking strategies used.
LinkDir
Directory links are thought to be a great way to build trust within the search engines.  There are hundreds of unique directories available and placing a link for your website in the correct category in these directories is a perfect compliment to other linking strategies.  Search engines consider web directories as a source for accurate classification of websites and their themes.  As the engines find your website in the same categories, they will slowly begin to trust the content more and more.
