Judging if a website is reliable

1.) a good website will tell you who it's for and what it's trying to tell you , who did it and what's it for
2.) Sometimes people can be biased on the Internet. The rule is to try to look at other people's point of view to see why they created the site
3.) Checkpoint has help me know where to find the author name, and base on that author name i can find is that author reliable 
4.) Read through the information and then decide whether it has really told you what it said it would
5.) do not trust any website that provide you only 1 option Because they want you to trust only their website, usually the website's fake 
 6.) If the website doesn't answer your questions, it is not useful to you. The more answers you can find, the better the site.

Check Point

Is the information biased in any way?

Sometimes information from websites can be biased. You should look at the information to see if it's biased or unbiased and you need to look at why the author created the website. Maybe because he or she wants to:

-Advertise a product or service
-change how you think- probably their point of view

It's impossible to be completely unbiased and you must try to think of different people's point of view.

The Guide to Internet Searching

Ways to improve is to
- Don't include common words like 'and' or 'the' in your searches
-Don't write sentences or questions when you search
-Put quotation marks if you're searching for a saying
-Put + sign if you want to include something else besides the main subject and put - sign if you want to exclude something out besides the main subject
- Try to be specific as possible to have good search results
- Effective searching is important because sometimes you didn't follow these rules and get unexpected results that you don't like because the program trashed your common words and twist everything around.
