Key Points to Linking:

  • Unidirectional = inbound links
  • Direct links = followed
  • Aim for supplemental / complementary content sites
  • Do NOT go for javascript links
  • Do NOT go for flash links (at least not yet)
  • Paid Links - should be kept under the radar

  • Represent what you and your institution stands for. Why would anyone not do that?
  • People like seeing posts of medical institutions, statistics, new medical breakthroughs
  • Everyone else is talking about us, why aren’t we? Large Corporations might have legal & regulatory constraints, but they can give out new info, respond to customers, address issues

Evolution of the Medical Blogosphere

  • 60% of patients use the internet as their first source of information
  • Doctors need to get on board to connect with their patients, answer questions about medical news and new medical info
  • Patients are blogging about their experiences as a way to find other people like them
  • People are leaving the Blogosphere due to privacy and employer issues

Key Twitter Tips and Advice:

  • Put a link to your site on Twitter, put your Twitter on your site so people know that your Twitter account is authentic (one forty.com)
  • Look to see what your competitors are doing, see who is following them. Research keywords in Twitter, see who comes up.
  • Always follow people back, or they’ll get mad at you
  • Listen, learn, care, serve.
  • Google: Grow Bigger Ears. Use search.twitter.com
  • Use seesmic.com or TweetDeck to manage your account
  • If you keep seeing the same question to you more than once, don’t keep tweeting the answer, post the answer on your website under your FAQ
