Website promotion

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the business of ranking a site well in the search engines, like Google and Yahoo! to get visitors to your website. If you have a website for your clinic, you have to promote it widely if you want these visitor. It has to be a good website address so that patients can remember; you have to have it in all your advertisements and on your stationary including your business cards. For the search engines, if someone types in "{Your City} podiatrist", does your website show up? If it doesn't then you have got some work to do. See this on how the search engines rank a website. To get a site to rank well, you need to build backlinks by getting other sites to link to your website. Submitting to link and web directories, such as DMOZ also helps link building. Generally, but not always, the more links there are to a site (link juice), the better you will rank in the search engines for yoru keywords. If you serious about your website and have a lot of competition, then you should consider engaging an SEO professional to look after the site (not an SEO Kiddie).

Some of our current research:

Some work we are doing in the Department of Podiatry is looking at measuring how much force is needed to supinate the foot - ie how much force is needed from a foot orthotic if we want to change the position of the foot. We have had several publications on this already and there are a lot more on the way. More information - supination resistance. We have found that the force to supinate the foot is more related to a number of foot problems than excessive pronation is (especially posterior tibial dysfunction and recurrent ankle sprains). Supination resistance is also predictive of dynamic function, whereas most of the measurements routinely done in clinical practice are not predictive of dynamic function.

Forum's for those who are evenly balanced:

The Podiatry Forum
Almost Uncensored Podiatry Forum

I call them evenly balanced people as most posters to these two forums seem to have chips on both shoulders :-)
Anonymous posters in forums do not have much credibility in my book ... judge for yourself by checking these two sites.

And for those who want the real truth there is Podiatry Bytes .... yeah right! - I actually note that the almighty Google search engine does not even index this site .... probably reflects its importance....the site is also anonymous (there goes any credibility that it could have had).
