    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.
