We’re pleased to see that Wikio.com this month has ranked this blog as the 9th most widely-referenced health blog.
Wikio’s ranking of this blog is highly suspicious. I say that now that the ranking has dropped. Maybe it was suspicious when the ranking was high.
But I do know that the Wikio site points to an old, dead, defunct blog of mine. And that’s what they’re actually ranking.
I’ve written them to stop ranking a dead blog and to add the new URL and the new name but I’ve received no response.
So my advice: take these rankings with a grain of salt – in good times or in bad – high rankings or low.
Disclaimer: I welcome comments but will delete those with any kind of product pitch, profanity, personal attacks or those from anyone who doesn’t list what appears to be an actual e-mail address. I will also end any thread of comments that are repetitive. Because I moderate comments, I can’t keep reacting to repeatedly inaccurate or unsubstantiated claims. We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it.
We look for more critical analysis of FDA expedited approval of a new drug like this.
Five-star story on small study that tries to counter large body of evidence on soy supplements for hot flashes.
Our reviewers, including a leading women’s health clinician-researcher, felt this piece would have been benefited from more data and context.
We will not display your name or e-mail address on the site, nor will we share youre-mail address with any third parties.

Well, it was ranked #9 by Wikio when this post first appeared.
Now, however, the logo reflects whatever the current ranking is.
