Are commercial sites any good?

My previous blog entries have looked into the government's initiative to educate Internet users on the issue of ovarian cancer, but to most, government websites are not the first resource to come to mind when one wants quick and easy answers to their questions. My first instinct would be to use a popular search engine like Google to find related links. Upon doing so, I was presented with pages and pages of links. Amongst the many commercial websites, there are the occasional legitimate government-run and organizational sites. I chose to browse through one of the commercial sites listed in Google's "Sponsored Links" box for the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. At first, I was not sure if I was actually at a site dedicated to ovarian cancer because anyone who visits the site is immediately distracted by an automatic video of testomonies from ovarian cancer survivors and a large box containing contact information for obtaining treatment. I had to scroll further down the page to find an actual introduction. Even then, the information regarding ovarian cancer was very limited. This is definitely not a website that one should go to for accurate and detailed information. Although the layout is very attractive and the video feature is impressive, the website lacks in content. Given these limitations, I give this website a rating of 4.
