news articles, creating a valuable reference tool for patients and health care professionals alike.
MediLexicon has experienced an astounding 43% increase in visits and a 30% increase in page views over the totals for 2007/2008. The introduction of a search gadget for MediLexicon,
which users can place on their Google homepage and website designers can use in their websites, has increased the accessibility of MediLexicon's search results and has contributed to
this increase in visitors.
Hospitals Worldwide has also experienced rapid growth, with the average number of visits per month increasing from 40,000 to over 150,000, due to the changes introduced in
late 2008.
A number of significant changes have been made to the Medical News Today website this year:
- The addition of 16 new medical channels.
- The introduction of 14 information hubs for various conditions.
- The addition of 225 'What Is' condition articles since February 2009, bringing the total number to 330, with an improvement in the interlinking within articles.
