I've been fortunate to work with John on several major projects. His experience with personalization is deep and wide. No BS here, just practical knowledge and advice. Recommended.

I was raised in this cult and can confirm everything this doctor has observed. The threat of shunning (disfellowsiping) is their strongest method of control. I hope other physicians read this and start considering a different approach.

Same here! As a patron I see the pages in advance, so the speculation is very entertaining - and I have to hold back from spoiling anything. (and I really want to say something about the end of this chapter...) Enjoy!

That would be very good news, and potentially solve half of the problem. We'd still need a fix for the auto-generated listings

I'd started the Bing claim process, but it needs confirmation by phone or snail mail. The same two roadblocks we face with Google

Good point. Fortunately for me, that's a very minor issue at my hospital. The bigger problem is with 100's of Google+, Google Maps and Google Places pages auto-generated by Google. Our docs are surprised and concerned when these show up - not to mention the confusion created for their patients.

How do you get around the verification problem?

Don't discount Bing - I've heard they provide good tools for managing your listings

What sort of problems are you having?

Re: A Plan to Fix Google Editorial Content. An #OccupyGoogleMaps post

Ed Bennett — Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:49:04 -0000

That's a common problem. My hospital covers four square blocks, with three different entrances, yet we have a single street address.

No question, the biggest problem is incorrect existing listings. That's what the first three steps in my post address..

Re: Traffic to Hospital Web Sites

Hitwise uses sampling tools and ISP logs to gather this data. Nothing is collected directly from hospitals or other organizations. (They track all web sites - hospitals are a tiny fraction)

Details here -

I've compared their estimated traffic to my actual numbers using Google Analytics, and it's close enough for general comparisons. The entrants are based on unique web addresses, so the sites on the hospital list will be a mix of individual and multi-hospital sites.

Tom,

This chart shows the current top 20 hospitals out of list of over 2,200. The top ten stay fairly consistent, but lower rankings will fluctuate quite a bit.

For example, look at Rex Healthcare, the last hospital on the chart. This week 5/19, it ranked #20 out of 2,200 but on 5/12 it was #85. The week before it was #175, and four weeks ago it #134.

The Visits Share number is the percentage of traffic a site received out of all traffic to sites in the category. Hitwise tracks 2200+ web sites in the "Health and Medical - Hospitals" category, and this chart shows the top 20.

Last week, the Cancer Centers of America had almost 4% of all hospital traffic, The Cleveland Clinic had 3%, and so on.
