Social Networking and Healthcare Professionals by Bob Stovall

Where do consumers turn when they need a healthcare professional such as a doctor, dentist or chiropractor? According to an article at cnet.com, the answer to that question is Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. To quote the article, A fair number of consumers in the United States are relying on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to help them with medical and health care issues. Polling 1,060 U.S. adults in February, PricewaterhouseCoopers found that a third use social media to find medical information, research and share symptoms, and offer their opinions about doctors, drugs, treatments, and heath plans. Overall, the same PriceWaterhouse poll suggests that 41% of those polled would use social media to choose a healthcare professional. With even higher numbers favoring social media among those 18-24 years of age, it appears that this trend will strengthen in the future. The message here is clear. Healthcare professionals need to begin using social media to position themselves in the healthcare marketplace. But an unplanned social media presence cab do more harm than good.

Over-Optimization vs Optimization • Yoast by Bob Stovall

Over-Optimization vs Optimization by Joost de Valk on 19 March, 2012 at 16:10 39 comments So Matt said something at SXSW last week about Google introducing a filter / penalty / change. As my inbox is already overflowing with emails from people asking whether they should stop optimizing their site and/or using my plugin, I thought I’d do a quick post. What Matt said was vague at best but he said one thing that leaves little room for speculation: All those people doing, for lack of a better word, over optimization or overly SEO – versus those making great content and great site. via Over-Optimization vs Optimization • Yoast.
