It is interesting to note that the ability to refer customers
to detailed information in a web site was influential in the FDA's
decision to relax restrictions on pharmaceutical DTC advertising.
So in reality, for a pharmaceutical company, this is a requirement,
not an option, if we intend to make a claim about the drug -
provided that we include fair balance information in the site
(side effects, warnings, etc.)

While some of our on-line advertising dollars go to promote our
"front door", much of our promotional efforts are directed toward
specific content areas that provide patient or professional education
( http://www.allerdays.com , http://www.managedcaredigest.com ).
Providing valuable, in-depth educational information to our customers
is not only an excellent model for building on-line traffic (and
exposure
to our promotional messages), but a way of doing business and building
long term customer relationships.
