Internet Search Tips

Look at the web address for clues about the quality of the information. The last part of a website address is the domain suffix and can give you an idea about the quality of the site. Some common examples are .com, .org, .edu, and .gov.

Restricted top level domains (only qualified entities can use these domains):

• .edu - associated with a U.S. school, school district, or university
• .gov - created by the U.S. government

Unrestricted top level domains (anyone, good or bad, can use these domains):

• .com - created by a commercial entity
• .org - created by an organization
