HealthCentral.com Featuring Dr. Dean Edell Reports Compelling Growth; DoubleClick DART Confirms Consistent Surge in Site Ad Impressions Over Four-Month Period for Online Service BERKELEY, CALIF. (March 10) BW HEALTHWIRE -March 10, 1999-- HealthCentral.com, a leading personal health destination on the Internet, today announced that in only four months of operation its number of monthly pageviews have risen steadily to more than 3 million for the month of February. These statistics, reported by DoubleClick DART, represent a 40 percent growth in site ad impressions in comparison to January and are attributed largely to the national radio and television broadcasts of HealthCentral.com Medical Broadcaster Dr. Dean Edell. In testimony to the successful broadcast-to-web synergy achieved by HealthCentral.com and Dr. Dean Edell, the service last week experienced a notable traffic surge as a result of an in-depth on-air/online report on circumcision. Launched in response to the national circumcision debate sparked by the American Academy of Pediatrics' reversal of its long-term position in favor of circumcision, the site created an interactive forum for exploration and discussion on the topic complete with photos of intact men and a circumcision surgery. During Dr. Dean Edell's Monday, March 1st radio broadcast that reaches close to 400 local markets, he shared his personal views on the topic and encouraged listeners to go to www.healthcentral.com to participate in the online forum. The resulting site traffic totaled more than 25,000 unique visitors within an initial 24-hour period recorded by DoubleClick DART and the company. In addition, recent surges have occurred during broadcasts where Dr. Edell encouraged site visits. "The fast growth that HealthCentral.com is experiencing is unique for an early Internet site and clearly speaks to the company's sophisticated branding approach that seamlessly combines the best of old and new media," said Jonathan Shapiro, vice-president of DoubleClick Inc. Business Development. "We continue to enjoy working with HealthCentral.com because of its competitive advantage on the Web harnessing the popularity and credibility of a branded and outspoken public figure like Physician Broadcaster Dr. Dean Edell." "Naturally, we are thrilled with the growing popularity of HealthCentral.com and continue to support that growth with easy-to-use, yet dynamic personal health features that online users have come to expect from our consumer health information service," said Albert L. Greene, president and CEO of HealthCentral.com. "Throughout the year, we will continue to offer a range of superior information and personalization tools that focus on timely questions and issues important to Americans interested in educational and entertaining online health content." Currently, HealthCentral.com offers a host of personalized, health and wellness tools that complement its deep research features and comprehensive Health Risk Assessment and Personal Health Record. These personal health features include the "Love IQ" and "BMI Calculator," both designed to stimulate thought and discussion around topical issues like relationships, attractiveness and disease prevention. The "Love IQ" is a series of 10 questions designed to find out whether an individual and his or her partner are ideal mates for each other. The "BMI Calculator" disproves the cultural myth that a woman's attractiveness is based simply on her waist-hip ratio, and points to the potential for heart disease which is a greater cause of death for women that breast cancer.
