Regarding eMarketer.com’s article on “Does Web Site Popularity Reflect Quality?” and Consumer Reports analysis, one can infer that WebMD gives excellent dietary advice. I find the site NOT very helpful because it only tells me things that I already know. Although these kinds of sites are necessary, I suppose, for those who are not always on top of medical/diet/healthy lifestyle news, it leaves much to be desired in terms of actually doing something about living a healthy lifestyle.
In my own experience, of all the sites listed in the article, RealAge.com is a site I really enjoy because it provides very in-depth, interactive surveys that help me in coming up with a lifestyle that I can live with. A report is generated, when concluding the survey that breaks down the things you can do by those that are easy, somewhat difficult and difficult. Listed as well are the expectations for each. Consumer Reports gives RealAge a ‘good’ rating. I haven’t taken the time to look at the criteria Consumer Reports uses, but if it is popularity, then I agree with the question asked by eMarketer.
