Revolution Health Network Passes WebMD and Becomes the #1 Health
Property on the Internet
WASHINGTON (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) February 8, 2008 --
Revolution Health today announced that the latest comScore rankings
confirm Revolution Health Network is now the largest health property on
the Internet. Less than one year after launching, the Revolution Health
Network generated 256 million page views in January, enabling it to pass
WebMD to become #1 in terms of consumer engagement.
“We knew there was a huge opportunity to take
health on the Internet to a new level, but even we have been surprised
by the pace of our growth," said Steve Case, chairman and CEO of
Revolution Health. “After years of relying on
sites to just look up information, America is clearly embracing our
approach of putting consumers at the center of health care and giving
them the tools they need to be more actively engaged in managing - and
improving - their health. The latest comScore rankings demonstrate that
people don't just want information - they want personalized tools and
services that enable them to take action - and that's what we're all
about."
The December 2007 Pew Internet and American Life Poll found that
the majority of Americans go to the Internet first, before contacting
experts or family members for health information. The study looked at
several common issues, including dealing with a serious illness or
health concern.
Over the past year, Revolution Health Network has grown dramatically in
size and scope. The network consists of a collection of five online
properties owned or represented by Revolution Health Group, including: RevolutionHealth.com,
CarePages.com, drugstore.com,
HealthTalk.com and SparkPeople.com
(with its affiliates BabyFit.com, SparkTeens.com
and SparkRecipes.com). In
addition to providing tremendous utility for consumers, the Revolution
Health Network has emerged as a platform for marketers seeking to reach
consumers of health and fitness products and services.
“In the coming year, Revolution Health will
develop new and inventive ways to empower consumers to take control of
their health,” said Case. “One
of our premier initiatives for 2008 is ‘Resolutions
2.0,’ a comprehensive program on
RevolutionHealth.com available today to help support people as they
make, and work to keep, their New Year's resolutions and other long-term
health goals. This fits squarely with our mission to engage people at
all stages of health.”
