“Fundamentally, it's not just about content, it's about
identity, relationships and content.”
- Amit Singhal, Google Fellow
“You need to be exceptional, inspirational, unique, credible,
fun, beneficial to share, don't get obsessed with relevance
(relevance to audience is very important, but to product, not so
much).”- Rand Fishkin, CEO of SEOMoz

Do you have a good understanding of what’s happening with your online efforts? Are you getting value from your analytics?
Most organizations aren’t and it’s not for lack of data. From Google Analytics to pay-per-click, the amount of data available
about your hospital’s Web presence is staggering. Lots of numbers – but not enough insight. Attend this webinar to learn how to measure the success of your online efforts. We’ll help
you translate all that data into actionable plans.
