  • Type of page (Is it someone’s personal page? e.g., Geocities, aol.com)
  • Type of domain (.edu is more believable than many others)
  • Where (Is it hosted in another country? e.g., .mx.uk.ru.cn.izetc.)
  • Check the “About” section. (Is the web page affiliated with a place you’ve heard?)

  • Why was the page put on the web? (to inform?, to convince? who's point of view does it reflect?)
