Always evaluate Web pages individually, not by the domain alone. The Web domain is not a foolproof measure of content or quality because:

• Sites may have user-contributed content and advertising disguised as articles
• ANY organization can purchase a .org, .net, or .com domain
• Criteria for new top-level domains (e.g., .mobi, .biz, .jobs, etc.) are vague
• The same content can be on multiple domains outside the U.S. (i.e., the Jerusalem Post is at http://jpost.com or http://jpost.il)

Tip: .gov and .mil domains are restricted to U.S. government and military.

Find a stable URL (often ending in .htm, .html, a slash, or no file extension).

• Look for a "permalink," "durable link" or "static link"
• Paste your URL in a different browser (e.g., Firefox vs. Chrome) to verify that it is stable
• For an archived Web page (e.g., Wayback Machine), always use the entire URL
