Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·       Read the website’s home page and the about us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

·       If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the web.

·       Presentation counts; look at everything from designs to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

·       Avoid sites that that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.
