How to find out if the website you are on is real?

Hi, I was wondering, how do you make sure the website you visit has realiable info. There are so many websites these days on internet that has fake info. such as the world is flat or humans can live forever. I am just wondering, how do you know if the website you are visiting is realiable. Help will be appreciated. Thank You.

Depends on the information you see there. The best way to confirm it, is to go browsing to other sites on the same topic, cmpare notes and make your conclusions from there. Information comes in many forms, people are diverse, they express information and ideas differently.

Most people don't post bogus information, unless its on a forum. In that case I would verify it.

I totaly agree with Red Fox, take in as much info as you can then compair your notes. The more you know the clearer your answer will be.

lol...right to the point Major. A WhoIs program could give you a bit of info on the company but not much. As Major said there is no real way of finding out if the website is real.

But there are these people that need to find out how to do it as they believe what ever crap they see

The press is lying a lot.
