If you are over fifty and looking for a source of health information on the Internet, make sure you bookmark Health Over 50, an all inclusive guide to health beyond the age of fifty. This site is geared towards both men and women and provides a wealth of information on just about any topic related to the after50 health category. Recent posts include How Effectively Can you Make Use of the Existing Women’s Health Services, Do You Snore and Sleep on Your Back, Cancer of the Prostate Gland, How Avoiding Women’s Health Symptom Diagnosis can Lead to More Lurking Dangers, Heart Disease – A Brief Overview, and Growths in the Prostate just to name a few. The site has been around since October 2005 and covers just about any health related issue to the after fifty crowd.
Navigation is very simple on this site, as it is designed very informally. There is simple black text on white background and a host of products available to you if you are looking for anti-aging products or herbal remedies to common ailments. There is even a link to get to a matchmaker’s site if you consider yourself to be “on the marketâ€. The site is not divided into categories, but on the right handed navigation bar you can search through the archives to find what you might be looking for. The pictures that accompany posts such as “Prostate Growths†are comprehensive and user friendly. The content itself even with its strong medical basis is also very readable, and easy to understand for the layperson.
I am going to go with a 2.6 for this site, but there are some very quick changes that can be made to bring this review up a few notches. The categories section is too broad, there is only one category. The site is very comprehensive and covers a wide range of topics. I think if the owner was able to break things down a bit and put posts into groupings, it would be easier for the readers to find what they are looking for. For example, if I wanted information on osteoporosis, currently I would have to search the archives. This is time consuming and many readers do not want to go to that trouble. Possible category suggestions would be anti-aging medicine, herbal products, snoring, women’s health, cancers, osteoporosis, men’s health issues, coronary heart disease, and so on. I think each of these topics is relevant to the site topic, as does the owner as there is information on each of these items in the blog somewhere. Grouping things together would organize this site much more effectively and make it much easier to read. I would also consider adding more pictures to the posts just to give it a friendlier appeal. If there is a post on anti-aging medication, perhaps highlight a product that is currently using advertising space. Further, I think some AdSense would do very well for this site and currently there is none available. Overall however, this site is content rich, well-researched, and the writing is very easy to follow and enjoyable to read. I would love to see a few changes added and then review it again. This is a HOT topic and the site could do fabulously if it was monetized a little bit better.
