Now blogging and dental marketing can work together more efficiently. New websites from Internet Dental Alliance, Inc. (IDA) let doctors easily embed their blogs into their IDA New Patient Portals to automatically generate fresh content and new patient leads. IDA’s Portals let doctor’s integrate the RSS feeds from their external blogs with just a few clicks of the mouse.
Blogging has evolved from an internet novelty into a tried and true online method for establishing and maintaining a connection with an audience in this case, current and prospective dental patients. For dental marketing, blogging is a good way to announce practice news, discuss dental health topics to inform and educate or feature case studies to promote a practice.

“IDA provides lots of ways you can add fresh content to your Portals.

The “Blog Display Link” area of the IDA Control Panel lets doctors adds the RSS URL of their blog to embed it and display it in the Doctors Blog page of their Web Portal. The Doctors Blog page will then automatically update whenever the dentist posts to their external blog.
