How to validate Websites: 4 steps (REAL)
 * R = Read the website address - .net says anyone could have invented the page versus .org, .mil, etc. On web address, delete everything after .net
 * E = Examine contents of the page (skimming and scanning); Ask questions about information. Look for facts and cross reference the facts.
 * A = Ask about the author or owner. Who has created the site? Generally it is at the bottom of the page.
 * L = Look at the links (2 types: forward or back). You have control over forward links, but not on back links.


 * Backlinks**
