The primary method of finding a web site is through a search engine. Search engines will not list sub-domain sites because they are effectively hidden within other sites. A web site must request submission to a search engine to be listed. MMIC Media submits each of its clients' web sites to over 300 search engines. Many free web sites offset the cost of development with advertisements.
Ads can blur the line between objective medicine and product endorsement.
When contracting with such vendors, physicians generally have little or no choice in the type, quality or quantity of the advertising on their free site. A web site's statistics contain important information. This information can be sold to marketers or vendors who create target advertising. This amounts to having an unidentifiable entity studying your patients' Internet usage and indexing what they read, reread or disregard. A wizard is a program that walks a person through the development process.
