We used the Bermúdez-Tamayo questionnaire to assess the quality and tools Google PageRank and Alexa TrafficRank for measuring visibility and popularity respectively. To assess the degree of adaptation to the Web 2.0, we analyzed the presence of: Blogs, forums, communities, search engines, RSS, multimedia contents, opinion comments, all tools that facilitate interaction with users. Results: The mean score ± standard deviation on the questionnaire quality in 2010 was 6.6 (SD 2.4) points and 8.2 (SD 2.9) in 2012. In general the visibility and popularity of the web analyzed is low, while it has increased the presence of 2.0 tools up to the 89.4% in the second periods of the study, being scientific societies which developed mainly use. Discussion: There is high variability in the quality of the websites studied, although with a growing interest in the same in most of the assessed organizations. The nursing web pages should improve the visibility and popularity to efficiently disseminate their content and services.The process of adaption to the web 2.0 is at an expansive stage, in fact, the 89,4% of web pages studied used some web 2.0 tool.
