Delete end characters of URL leave slash, look for date updated. Is it dusty or stale, undated is bad! 3: Look for links, additional sites and related links. Footnotes. Publisher of page (first part of URL) 4: What do others say? alexa.com learn things such as web traffic, contract/ownership, related links to other sites visited by people who visited page, sites linking in to page. Wayback Machine (basically a history tab for any websites) 5: Does it add up? If it's too good to true, it probably is. Listen to gut. Look for satire or parodies.
