Yes to all. Dallas, to me, is perfect both in its choice and the way it's been done. Of course, I agree to the definition of perfect as well.

- The top two Google AdSense Keywords for lasik are: "lasik new york city" & "lasik dallas". I prefer Dallas, because from the New York area we have only covered Manhattan so far.
- I was happy with the previous definition of perfect, however, Asad added some new points to it and it makes more sense now, perfect is a relative term after all :-)
- Yes, methinks, Dallas is perfect according to this definition.

YES
- I think viable cities are Portland, Manhattan (if this counts), and Chicago . The former is preferable since we've already garnered sponsorships there and this is part of how 'complete' a page may be. The only downside (or potential upside) is Portland's small size. This would make the page more focused, but less indicative of a larger city page.
- I also think keyword search might be a good idea, as far as visibility is concerned. If this is the case, it looks like LASIK New York City might be the one to focus on (and we could build it out as a combination of LASIK Manhattan and the other burrows).
FINAL NOTES: LASIK Dallas looks great! I only have a couple of notes before I am at yes, and these need not be followed if we all agree they are unnecessary:
- Equipment on the listing page needs to follow site uniformity. Example: at the top of the list, VISX CustomVue is a type of procedure while VISX Star S4 is a type of laser. Only the latter is appropriate here, although it will link to the VISX CustomVue page. These small inaccuracies/redundancies should be eliminated anywhere they occur.
- Images on individual provider pages should be in galleries. Everything looks pretty good now, but I think a slight improvement might be moving all images into galleries. This will help with any resizing issues and with general format.
- Alternating highlights in background. I see that the purpose here is to separate the listing visually, but this will be very confusing once we have sponsors. If you look at the LASIK:Portland page you'll see what I mean: the colored cells are being used to indicate sponsorship. Perhaps the organizational benefits to alternating colors outweigh the costs here, but if that's the case I'd like some other ideas on how to separate the sponsors effectively.

Almost ready for Yes:
- As soon as all images are in galleries we are good to go!
Great work guys!

LASIK Dallas is now handed over to ChrisBabson to start making phone calls to providers.

Which City? Dallas
We picked Dallas because of it's top 5 standing on the adwords list. The downside with Dallas is that we haven't sold any sponsorships there. Portland and Manhattan both have sponsorships and would be preferred for next actions after we finish with Dallas.

What does it mean to be "perfect"?
- no redlinks to other LASIK Dallas type pages
- pages consistently named
- links from doctors pages to their practice(s)
- links from DomainPages to their doctor(s)
- redirects in place from the clinic name to the DomainPage
- Services offered by a lasik center should be turned into links.
- Every service/organization/institution on doctors pages should be:
- LASIK navigation bar
- on all Dallas pages
- has no redlinks
- "doctors" link goes to a category for doctors and all Dallas doctors are in that category
- "providers" link goes to a category for providers and all Dallas providers are in that category
- Add Category:LasikDoctorsInDallas on all Lasik Surgeons' pages in Dallas.
- Add Category:LasikProvidersInDallas on all Lasik Clinics' pages in Dallas
- maps on DomainPages are zoomed in
- images on DomainPages are in galleries for both doctors and equipment
- no procedures should be listed in the equipment sections
- all white backgrounds on the portal page itself
- alphabetize the portal page by clinic name
