Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Opportunities for webmd.com

Queries that provide opportunities for this site to advertise through Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to get more traffic. They are popular queries that are relevant to the site, and have low competition in search engine marketing. Learn More Many sites are actively advertising in search engines for the most valuable search queries. This high level of competition tends to result in high advertising costs, which makes it difficult to find attractive advertising opportunities. These opportunities may still exist, however, by looking at the "long tail". The long tail contains search queries with lower Query Popularity, but such queries also tend to have lower QCI. By advertising for many of these queries, sites may still be able to manage an effective search engine marketing campaign. Note that not all queries on the long tail may be very relevant to this site, but this list may contain a number of strong advertising candidates.

Comments: I tried to load the site 2x and it kept saying "can't find the page that you're looking for". I finally got on the third time and used symptom checker. It told me that I might have a brain aneurism. I had to plea with my doctors receptionist to get me right in and ended up leaving embarassed. It was just headaches due to stress. The doctor said to take some tylenol. He also told me Not To Use Web Md anymore.

This is one of the worst health sites i've ever seen. Most of the content is just ads and half of what health information there is is either incomplete or inaccurate.

I recommend
this site to a friend
What can I say? It is easy to remember, magazines recommend them and the webpage is nothing but useless facts that I already know. It is great for little kids who know absolutely nothing.

I recommend
this site to a friend
I regularly go on WebMD to look up health infomation. Most recently I was having trouble sleeping and I went to find out causes and potential cures. I find the site very informative with lots of links to additional information.

I recommend
this site to a friend
With all the pop-ups, this site is just plain bad! It is supposed to be about medical education but it is just an advertising site.
