Tracking shows that the average person who visitsthe site views 6 pages per visit, well above the overall Internet average of 1to 2 pages per viewing, per visit to a given site.”Doug reports that the rise in volume can be attributed to “focusedsearch engine optimization” and the select purchase of key advertising termsrelating to our varied services such as “sleep disorders” or “wound healing.”There has also been increased recognition by the major search engines suchas Google, thanks to the growing number of Trinitas Hospital “microsites,”such as the Wound Healing, Sleep Disorders, Trinitas ComprehensiveCancer Center, Diagnostic Imaging and Children’s Therapy Services sites,all of which have been launched in the past six months.Finally, advertising banners prominently placed on such sites asNJ.com and the Worrall Community Newspapers sites that click through toour family of websites have also directed visitors to Trinitas Hospital sites.“The Internet has become a valuable promotional and marketing tool forthe hospital resulting in many new patients,” Doug adds.You may see our familyof websites by visiting:Main HospitalTrinitasHospital.orgSleep Disorders CenterNJSleepDisordersCenter.comCenter for Wound Healing &Hyperbaric MedicineWoundHealingCenter.orgTrinitas ComprehensiveCancer CenterTrinitasCancerCenter.orgChildren’s Therapy ServicesChildTherapyNJ.comTrinitas Diagnostic Imaging CenterTrinitasDiagnosticImaging.compage 5Wound Center Website Judged“Best in the State”The website for Trinitas Hospital’s Center for Wound Healing &Hyperbaric Medicine was designated as the “Best Non-Profit Website inNew Jersey” by the Jersey Shore PR & Marketing Association, whichgave Trinitas its Gold Jasper award during a ceremony held recently atthe PNC Arts Center.The website has been very successful in attracting new patients tothe Wound Center.
