In a letter sent by the agency earlier this week, Pfizer was chastised because its Lipitor web page made misleading representations and suggestions about several other drugs. The issue came to light, by the way, thanks to the FDA ‘Bad Ad’ program, which encourages people to file complaints about troublesome promotions (see this). What exactly did the FDA find objectionable. In its letter, the Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and Communications noted that the Lipitor webpage contained a link that led to a webpage about Lipitor which contained a “Click to Continue” link. This took the visitors to individual product websites for Caduet and Chantix, and to the prescribing information for Norvasc. However, Pfizer ...

They like sex so much, they spend a lot of time searching for it online. Go figure. (You can tell I’m about to delve into really highbrow, heady stuff here…) Researchers Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam recently published a book, A Billion Wicked Thoughts, detailing their analysis of 400 million searches they collected from the Dogpile search engine. Of those 400 million searches, 13 percent (55 million) were for erotic content. How did those 55 million searches break down? Let’s find out… but let’s also look at the methodology of these researchers to see if their findings are worth the paper that they are printed on. (If you think not, you’re probably right.) So here’s what people on Dogpile search for when it comes to sexual interests. N...

They need information, and it's quite logical that the internet is the first place they turn to ( most people live in nuclear families and don't have a family physician, so they can no longer tap into the insights of their family doctor or the wisdom of their grandmother).While the web is a great source of health information, unfortunately, using google to search for information is not always a smart thing to do. This is because while google is a great search engine, it's not always good at helping you to find reliable information. Google finds lots of stuff - but a lot of it is poor quality garbage - and google is not smart enough ( yet !) to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff !For he...

Even more so than depression, I think, anxiety is the big disabler in my life, with a capital D. That is why I try to nip my anxiety in its early symptoms. That doesn’t always happen, of course, but here are some techniques I try, and seem to work for me. Who knows, maybe they’ll work for you too! 1. Recognize the reptilian brain.

When asked which analytics would give them the most valuable insights, marketers said the importance of marketing cost, orders, average order size and conversion rate. But they had the greatest ability to measure visits, page views, page views per visit and click-throughs. Only 41% could measure social marketing conversion. Overall, 80% said it was important to measure ROI from online activities, but just 31% could effectively do so.

While the revenue increases are not at the level of 40 percent growth routinely seen in the past, it does reverse a trend of declining revenues which started at the beginning of 2009. Google says that larger advertisers are returning to online spending “in droves” as the economy appears to have weathered the worst effects of the recent recession. “As we enter 2010, it’s really clear that the digital economy continues to grow rapidly,” said Patrick Pichette, Google’s chief financial officer. “It’s been ...

In it, Senior Editor Noah Levine tells us that a survey by Pew Internet Project reported 75-80% of Internet users look for medical information online. Question is, does the vast medical and dental information on the Internet educate and inform patients well? Does it make your job as a dentist easier or harder? That really depends on where patients are getting their information and whether it’s accurate and relevant. Wikipedia, for instance, is a great resource, but you don’t have to be an expert to post information. (Wiki means “what I know is.”) Blogs, too, give the average Joe access to opinions and not-necessarily-factual information. Levine’s article is a great star... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2657771 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:32:36 +0100 2657771 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2528059&cid=t_104513_133_f&fid=35096&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAutismVox%2F%7E3%2Fhm_4AAJ80S4%2F I’m not the world’s biggest Thomas the Tank Engine fan. Too many things to buy. Too many accessories and pieces. Differently sized trains wouldn’t run on all the pieces of track. When Alex and Ned were younger we had some cute Thomas toys (the take-along roundhouse was a big hit with everyone, including me because it stored all its own pieces) but he didn’t seem to have real legs in our house. We put the track and engines away a couple of years ago, and there wasn’t a peep of protest.

A ton. So you know how to communicate with the written word. The thing is, there are many different types of writing. The style you use to communicate with dentists on a professional level is different from the style you use in writing an email to your mother. Likewise, online communication requires a certain style. It should appeal to (1) patients, (2) potential patients, (3) search engines, and (4) referring dentists, if applicable. This is true of a website, blog, newsletter, or article. In addition to the style issue, choosing the point of view to can be daunting. Read on for some points you need to think about when composing (or approving) copy for your website.

The colors, photos, look and feel of the site? The motion, the videos, or a fancy opening page? The things that appeal to humans do not appeal to search engine spiders. SEO spiders refers to the technology behind indexing websites. If the spiders like your site, it will rank well in Google, Yahoo, and other search engines. If the spiders don’t like your site, in competitive markets, it will get buried. To spiders, words are like big, fat flies. SEO spiders’ mouths water at the thought of a website with a ton of content on it. But you like the visual elements. That’s okay.

Our own Linda Miles is quoted in the article as stating, “The hygiene department is the foundation of every general practice and should be one-third of the practice’s gross annual production, excluding the doctor’s exam fee.” As the leader at the helm of your practice, you may not have considered how your hygienist(s) could benefit your online marketing efforts.

Problem is, the Internet is a relatively new medium. “When it comes to trademark use on the Internet, the law is muddled,” according to an article in WebsiteMagazine.com (November2008). Everyone is learning by trial and error. Some things are black and white, though. If you don’t want to receive a faxed invoice for illegal usage of an image on your website, you need to be informed.

Here’s what I mean - When someone is looking for a dentist online, he or she will usually Google* the word “dentist” and a nearby city. This would mean that a Katy, Tx resident may type in “Katy dentist” or “Houston dentist.” Beyond that, the searcher may look for a more specific topic like “cosmetic dentistry,” “gum disease,” “crowns in an hour,” or “clear braces.” To be found on page one for these relevant terms is terrific.

Are targeted keywords popular phrases used in search engine queries? Do page titles start with your targeted keywords? Does your site employ H1 header tags for prominent content titles? Is your permanent body copy contextually sufficient and keyword-rich? Do text links include targeted keywords that point users to pages within your site?

But without a doubt, web directories are sure-fire ways of driving website traffics. These directories are effective ways of building PR (page rank) that helps websites get good rankings in the Google search engine. Google uses page ranks to grade the results based from the searches that visitors are making. Having a higher PR is having a better listing compared with others. PR are based on the backlinks that you have and its quality. So it follows that the more backlinks you have, the higher your PR will be. You will also get better rankings.

Another templating option is Mako, which I’ve barely used, but I still prefer to Django templates. One nice thing about Mako: it’s faster than most Python templating engines out there.

There are zillions of excellent plug-ins available for Firefox, and one of my favorites is Googlepedia, a mashup between Google and the Wikipedia.Googlepedia modifies the behavior of the little Google search box in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox window. When you type in a search phrase such as "rickets", the result comes back in a split window. On the left hand side of the split is the usual Google result for rickets. The right hand side of the split window shows the Wikipedia result for rickets.Since the answers I need are often on the first page of Wikipedia, Googlepedia saves me the trouble of clicking through there for quite a few of my searches.

Now I present a similar and even more powerful application named GoPubMed. When you search PubMed the conventional way, via the Entrez system, two things happen. First your query is translated with identification of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and secondly this translated query is matched with words from all the abstracts. The second part is performed by term matching, which ultimately means that keyword synonyms are not used in the search. This way you can lose a lot of important articles. Finally, found abstracts are listed in the reverse chronological order. In most of the cases this is not what you want, and you are forced to manually go through all the abstracts to find those...

It is available via the NCBI Entrez retrieval system, which was developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM), located at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).  PubMed is extremely popular among biomedical researchers, in part because it offers free access, contrary to other such search engines like Scopus and Web of Science. However, during the years I heard a lot of people complaining about PubMed. They do not like its interface and are not satisfied with search results it provides.

The Internet is enormous, with information available to people across the globe. Your audience, your target market, consists of a little piece of the globe, most likely. To ensure that your site is found by search engines, you need to begin with good keywords. Implementing those keywords in a well thought out, thorough SEO strategy will improve your site’s potential for being found by the right people. Keywords are the words that your search engine specialists will use in the back-end structure of your website. They should also show up in your website copy (art doesn’t count) in strategic locations. The number of times words are used, combined with their location, links, and the rest of the content on a page, affe... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1428926 Thu, 08 May 2008 13:05:11 +0100 1428926 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1392530&cid=t_104513_132_f&fid=35021&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FYourBonesGotALittleMachine%2F%7E3%2F275784735%2F About two weeks ago, tipped off by Neil, I heard about Google App Engine. I managed to get a beta account, and I’ve finally had a chance to do something (hopefully) useful with it. In the absence of any quickly achievable ideas for a bioinformatics app, I ported over the OpenRef application I wrote on top of TurboGears a few months back. Just like the original, the new app, ResolveRef, is essentially a RESTful way of doing PubMed queries. A query like: http://resolveref.appspot.com/ref/journal/year/volume/page or when there is no volume number, like: http://resolveref.appspot.com/ref/journal/year/page will query PubMed and forward you to the DOI. Usually this means you will be forwarded to the electronic version of the article at the publishers site. The nice thing about these OpenR...

Here is how it is described Anatomy Lens is a search engine that helps scientists hone in on PubMed articles most relevant to their research. Users enter anatomy terms, MeSH terms, and biological processes as search keywords. Anatomy Lens is more precise and has better recall than text search. For example, for the query Alzheimer’s, brain, neuron development, Anatomy Lens will match Alzheimer’s articles that discuss dendrite development in the hippocampus, whereas a standard text search will only find articles containing the queried keywords explicitly and might also find articles that are unrelated (such as articles about neuron development in the spine).

Web directories were hot before the advent of search engines. Previously, people go to these directories to find quality websites, a potential referring traffic for web masters. However, these days, search engines made it easier for internet users to find what they’re looking for; directories were forgotten since then, sadly, even by webmasters. SEO giants have long been stressing about the importance of building inbound links through web directories. Submitting your site to good and high-PR directories is one way of getting quality links that are highly valued by the search engines. Web directories are mainly human edited, thus a website must pass a strict criteria to get listed, hence quality links are only listed. These ...

However, a writer over at the Time website has findings of his own. Bill Tancer, a columnist at Time, believes that in order to get a better estimation of what the most depressing day is we only have to look to search engine behavior.

Information is knowledge, and knowledge is power. But how to find what you look for? That is why it is important to learn and to develop "digital literacy skills". Nowadays it is so common to find patients who look for answers to their health problems before they go to their primary doctor. With the information accessible to any person from their computers, lot of people without access to the health care system will try to cure themselves. But what type of answers are people finding? I think we have to spread awareness about this fact in the health care community. And that is why we have to learn how to search for information on internet.

I will try and rectify the situation as soon as possible. Readers involved with research are most likely aware of PubMed, a free resource that allows you to search “millions of bibliographic citations and abstracts in the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and preclinical sciences”. PubMed is very powerful and has a range of powerful search and notification features to make life easier for those who browse research regularly. Just recently however, I have become interested in a website/search engine called Gopubmed, a site that harnesses PubMed databases but arranges and guides your search in some nifty ways. Gopubmed is built by Transinsight...

Thometz is profiled in the August 11th New York Times (subscription only) about his search for a home for his family of three and for his 400 cartons containing some 10,000 books. Jim Dwyer relates Thometz’s longstanding passion for books with Adam’s beginning to use words himself: ……By the age of 5, Adam had not yet spoken an intelligible word — not Mommy, not Daddy, not milk or no. Mr. Thometz read to him every night for two and a half years. With Adam in the crook of his arm, the weight of the day on him, Mr. Thometz was reading Thomas the Tank Engine for the 200th time. “Henry the engine,” he read. “Green,” Adam interrupted. Yes: the proper name was Henry...

Here is what I got when I clicked on “yes”. I actually don’t see the “leave beta” sign any more (maybe I clicked on it by mistake), but I presume others have seen the beta site as well. The current beta is a test for “the accuracy and speed of the improved search engine”. Apparently, it is just step 1 of an effort to develop new features and capabilities later this year.

On page 5, he was commenting about the usefulness of Google search and Google Scholar for medical information. This is an excerpt from an interview Joshua gave to Dean Giustini in 2006. Dean interviewed 4 medical bloggers interested in using search engines for medical queries: Kevin, Joshua, Graham and me.The fact that Google quoted Joshua proves 2 things:- Google listens. They want feedback.- Google became too big too fast and quality control suffers. They should have adhered to the the common practice of citing your sources. Joshua's quote was from Dean's blog and they should have linked to it as a primary source.References:I was quoted in the Google Annual Report. KidneyNotes.com.Physician Bloggers T...
