Sometimes you don't realize a site you are using is completly made up. I would think you would look at the creators of the website to see who they are what they do. Some sites are completly ethical and trustworthy while others are just made up by someone wanting to pull a prank or something like that. There are key items to look for when using a website. People often use goole to direct them to a helpful website. I do too. i search through the first couple of websited to see if they are what I'm looking for. Often tImes they aren't so I refine my google search and continue looking. After I a sefice website I sometimes check the makers of the website. I know I should be more careful with what websites I use because one could be easily fooled with a fake one.
Usually, when trying to find a website to post, I use a search engine, perferably Google. Most of the time, when I'm researching something, I use familiar sites that I know I can trust. If the website is unfamiliar to me, then I check first to see if it's secure-with the lock symbol. Then I check the layout. The more professional it is, the more authentic it seems.Of course, those aren't guarenteed to be clear signs to a 'honest' website, and I can't truthfully say that I obsessively check to see whether or not a website is legitimite.

This website says that if a website has way too many broken links, missing images or error messages, it is probably not trustworthy.

Traditionally, when I'm looking for a specific piece of information, I use Google but sometimes I switch it up and use Yahoo(oh, how exciting!). Ironically I hardly ever use books to find information even though they're probably the most reliable source of information. I try to make the websites I link to reliable as well. When I'm on Wikipedia, or some random website, I compare the information it gives me with two or three other websites.

In the website I chose, it says that a reliable website has a copyright or the date last updated including the author's/editor's name.

I use Google as my search engine. Some of the information Google brings me to is fake. I always check the information with other websites so I know i am getting the right information. Wikipedia is a example of a bad source because people can change it. Overall the web can not be trustworthy.

how to tell if a website is legitiment
There are many ways you can find information about a topic or idea you are looking for. Most people, inlcuding me, use search engines like Google, to find information about that topic. What many people dont realize is that, not all websites are relible sources. A few ways you can tell if the website is honest and ethical is by checking who maintians the site. If it is a coporation or goverment there is a high posobility that this source is relable. But if it's a single person mainting the site, you should check other sites to verify the information. This is also another way to make sure the site you are using is relible, by checking multiple sources to make sure they are the same. Many websites that end in .org, . net, or .gov tend to be reliable sources. You may also check if the website has a copywrite or says its secure. You should check when the website was last updated to make sure the facts are up to date.
This is a link to a government website which has been updated recently and end in .gov.
This is more than likely a secure,safe and ethical website to use.

I find the website to post either by Google it, or from previous knowledge. In order to see if the information provided in the sites are credible, you can cross-check it with two or more other websites. You can always refer to other sources like books and other potentials. There are many websites that can give you information on how to validate the information on websites. I found this website while browsing through some pages recently. It has some steps to find if the information on a site is useful or not. One of them is, to look at the URL to see if the end part has .gov, .edu or .org so that it is usually correct. .gov is from government and usually always accurate. .edu is educational institutions only. So it can almost never be wrong. Same with .org which are usually non-profit organisations.
When I try to find a website to post, I usually use the optimum online search engine or google. I know the site is factual when I have double checked my information and have checked to see who has created the article or passage, whether it is an organization or an individual.
This site gives you an easy way to remember characteristics of a reliable website.
My site says to question whether or not the information is accurate/reliable and then to check the information. It also says to check whether or not the information is biased.

Whenever I reaseach any subject I usually go straight to Google. From there I usually just click on a couple different sites and read about the topic. Although, when I want to check if my sources are honest and true I take several steps. These include cross examining a few different sources to see if they have the same basic concepts, checking the URL to see if the site is commercial, educational, government etc.(you gather some information about the reliability of the site through this), and I also check who is maintaining the site and when it was last updated(usually if it is maintained by a company and updated regulatly it is respectable). This is a great habit to have so that you can be wisely informaed about a topic rather than being misimformed and looking like an idiot, for exapmle when your doing a report. Here is a site so that you can stay on top of fact and fiction. One of the big things this site emphasizes is to check the website fully for credibility, accuracy, reasonablility, and support so that you can be sure that you are getting the correct information in your research.
Are your websites provide you with fact or fiction?

I use the search engine Google most of the time. Even though google is a widly used search engine, it can bring you wrong, fake, or untrue sites and information. To avoid an encounter with a fake website I find a website with the information i am looking for and then I go to a different website to see if it has the same or very simillar information. By doing this i am reasured that the info from the first website is mostlikely ture.
Here is a link with some tips on how to spot a fake website.

When i need to find a website or post i usually look it up on google or some other search engine. I honestly don't know if the information i am using is "honest or "ethical" but there are several ways to distinguish the honest and ethical from the others. However when i do need to get a website i usually make sure it is one i have used often and know is trustworthy or one that is .org,.gov, etc.
How to tell a website is legal
The website states that you should look for a copyright date and consider the sponsors of the website. Also, to look at the endings if it is edu., gov., etc then it should be pretty reliable. I did not consider the past websites I have used to be a reliable source but i know now what to look for.

To find a website, for research, I usually start at Google. From there I look at the choices and read the preview of what to expect under the key words. Then, if it sounds similar to what I am looking for, I click on it. To pick an "honest and ethical" website I read the information on the page and then I compare it to what I already know about the topic and other websites. If the information sounds legitimate, I look at the URL to find out if the site is government, educational, commercial and etc. Once I know these facts about the site I check to see who is maintaining it. Once I know the site is trust worthy I then begin to use it.

I find sites i use for blogging or research on google. I don't know if the website I am looking at is giving me "honest" advice or facts, but before i put anything down, I check a couple more websites to see if they have the same information on that one topic. There are ways to see if a website is ethical and is to be trusted. If there is spelling mistakes it is safe to know that it isn't a trust worthy site.
I find the website I post by going to a search engine (Google) and typing in the topic. I usually use a site I am familiar with, that I know has good information. I know i can trust the information by checking it to several other sites,looking at grammer and spelling, by seeing who updates it and what the copyright is.evaluating
My website says to check credibility by seeing if the author is listed, when it was last updated and to see if there is spelling or grammer mistakes. I f you follow these steps and everything is ok, then the website should be reliable.

When I need to find a site for the blog, I use google. Even though it is a helpful tool, you can't always believe what you read on the internet. Usually the first thing I do is try to look for an article from a site that I am familiar with, such as aol or yahoo. If I can't find an article, then I click on a random link. I'll usucally stick with an article if it is written by a site for some sort of newspaper, magizine, or something like that. But, just to make sure, I check it for spelling and other potential errors. If it is an article that sounds like a lie or the name of the site is strange, I try another article. When I find a site, I always check other sites to see if the information is the same (or similar). I also check for spelling and grammar errors. You never know if anything on the internet is true, so it is important to be able to recognize an invalid article. One way my linked site suggests that a website is unethical is if the website domain name changes as you navigate through the website. (Ex. if the domain name changes from www.yahoo.com to www.infopage.com, but the page still looks like yahoo.)
When I need to look up information I use Google, which is a search engine that can show you thousands upon thousands of pages of info. Some sites may give you honest and ethical facts about a topic. I look to see whether the site is from an organization or if its from an individual author. I also look to see if there is information that makes sense and is valid, not something that an elementary kid could prove is wrong. This is a guide to finding a good website. Most of the time Google does a good job. If I can't find the site that i'm looking for I just change the wording of the search. Usually, after a couple tries, I find the site quickly. If that doesn't work then I look in a different search engine such as Ask.com. Although, there is no definite way to tell for sure if the info on a site is completely true
When I'm looking for a website I usually use Google. Not all websites Google have are reliable though. Whem I'm looking for an ethical site, I usually check other sources to make sure they're on the same track. If your website ends in .gov,.edu, or .org then, those websites tend to give you honest and ethical information.Besides, that you should also check when the website was last updated, and its cpoyright.You should be careful not to get tricked and fooled by websites; some tend to give the wrong information.
My link
One way I know my website is secure is that it has a copyright and the date last updated, and a lock icon.

When I try to find a website to post I use Google. I only use the site if it says it is by an organization and that it has been updated recently. There are other things you should look for when evaluating a website. The site I chose says that another way to evaluate a website is to see if the author's credentials are "up to par." Is the author a profesional scientist or just some person? I always try to check to see if the sites I use are true.
Usualy when I am trying to find a website to post o the blog i use google, but I have also been known to use the aol search engine. With all the results I get its sometimes hard to find out whether the information on the sites is accurate. while somesites are very accurate others are made of complete nonsence. So i somethmes cross referance the information with other sites or i will check to see who maintains the site. There are also many other ways
to tell if information is accurate.

When looking up research for tedious projects, I use the search engine Google. When viewing a website I want to know that I am giving real facts. I see if the website is real by going to other sites to see if the information matches up. I also look to see is there is a company or author that keeps updating the website so the information is new.
There are many factors that can help you be aware if the site is legitiment or not.
A factor can be to notice if there are many errors on the page for a long period of time. Also by seeing if the websites have pop-ups appearing trying to sell you product.

When I reasearch anything I usually go to a search engine refferibly google. After I type everything in there I usually just click on a couple of sites that looklegit and read about the topic. If I want to see if my sources are fake or real, I need to do somethings to see if its rela or fake. I check the URL to see if the site is commercial, educational, government and so on . I also check who is running the site and who created. I rarely do this but i do occasionaly check wit the site was last updated. This is what I mostly do to see if the site is legit. I got to www.whois.net, basically what you do is you type in the site where you want to look up at www.whois.net and it'll tell you all the information on the site.
Legit site
One way my link site suggests you evaluate a website used for reference is to ask yourself Is there a link to a page describing what the company or organization does and the people who are involved (an “About Us” page)?

I find the website that I post usally by just Googleing it or using a link from a known legit website. Or with using a related articles link at the bottom of the page. You can tell that a website has good information and is honest by the end of the URL or if the website has refrences or work cited. I also make sure that the website is spelt correctly so that I am not being tricked. This website states that it is best to use a very fine search or if a link navigates away from the website but it still looks like the one that you were aleady on.
How I find the website that I post for each blog is I click on Internet Explorer and type in at the very top my website. I have no possible way of knowing if this website is safe because it is a soccer website and states nothing about the website's safety. I believe that the website I use is giving "honest and ethical" information because of other sources like friends and coaches. I have no way of knowing if I can trust this site. Most people usually use google to find their sites, but to find my site you do not have to go into google. It is just one less "step". I have never checked the makers of a website because I feel it does not matter, even though it probably does. One website I do not use because I know can be messed up is Wikipedia.
I usually search for the topic of discussion through Google.com because there are so many options and different things that you can find through it. Usually when a website's .something is .org, .gov, or .edu, i know i can trust the site. I am cautious about sites that end with .com or .net because anyone can make a site and it will be either .com or .net. Since this site ends with .org, i know i can trust the information that it contains. it can be really hard determining if a site is reliable or not.
To find the website i post each week, i generally use the search engine bing.com or google.com. in utter honesty, i do not always know if my website give accurate information, but i usually judge based on the presence of spelling and/or grammatical errors. i use this mechanism because i feel as though if a respected name wa posting the information, they would hire someone to maintain such basic aspects of a reliable source. a creditable
website that i discovered gave some relatively useful information facilitating finding reliable websites. one truly valid point it brought up was to utilize goverment affiliated and operated websites which are easily detected because the end in ".gov" !

I find the website that I post in the blog by doing a Google search on the topic. I look to see if the website has good credentials and that I can trust the site as a source of reliable information before I post it. I look for when the information was last updated, the makers of the website and if they cite references as to where they are getting their information. There are some important things to look for when determinig a website's validity. One way that my linked site suggests that you evaluate a website for its reliability is that the name of the individual or group creating the site should be clearly stated and that the creator should be responsive to any questions regarding copyright, trademark, or ownership of all material on the site.
When I look for a website to post I usually use google.com or any other search engine. You can determine that the website you have chosen is honest and ethical by looking at the source and where they got the information from. You can also compare the information found on that website to information on a couple other websites. You can also check the end of the url. If it ends with .org or .edu you know that it is most likely legit.Here is my link!
My link has suggested to evaluate the appearance of the website. Most organazations what the work they are putting out to look good.

When i look for the website I am using for the blog, I usually Google them. However I will check the web address and read through the article.An "honest and ethical" website will have a name associated with the article. Usually a .org .edu or .gov can provide safe information.
Here is a website that shows how to check another web site.
If you can contact a website creator and ask them questions about the site or information. there are also sites that can check the reliability of other sites.

When I went to look up my site, I used the search engine, Google, but you can use other search engine like Ask or Bing to find information. I usually know that a website is secure when there is a tiny lock in the address box. Other ways I find out how a site is safe is when it ends in .gov or .edu.I learned from my site that if a site has a lot of ads, that the site owner is usually more interested in monetary gain than the actual content on the site.
I find my web sites by using Google and asking my parents about the subject of the week. I check the reviews and when the site was late updated to be positive that it is both honest and ethical.
Evaluating
Website Content I believe that this website is honest and ethical because the site is used for studing in colleges.

When I have to link a site I usually use google or yahoo. I never really check to see if the site is legit or fake, but to check I would probably check another site with the same topic and see if the info matches. If the website uses .edu then I know that the info is correct because it is an educational site and I mean who would lie to kids right?
I would use the info in thisweb site to evaluate others. One thing this website says to do is check when this site was publised and if it was updated since then.

I usually find the website i post by googling the topic or from prior knowledge of the subject. I would look at the end of the address: .org .com etc. If it ends in .org it is most likely trust able. Also I check the authors or creators of the website. Another way i have checked if the website is ethical is by asking one of my parents. One of the things thiswebsite suggests you do is look at the source of information on that website. Also anyone and everyone can make a website.
