After you have looked at the URL, you should scan the rest of the web page for other indicators that can tell you about the information on the page.
- Check the revision date of the page. Most Web authors note a date when they last updated the page, and this date can usually be found at the bottom of the page. This is important because there are thousands of "orphan" Web pages that were created for a purpose, but never updated or removed from the Web. These pages can be misleading because the information in the page is probably out of date and possibly incorrect. Be sure to check the revision date.
- Check the links in the page. Do the links work, and do they link to the correct source indicated in the web page? A Web page with a large number of broken links can indicate that the page hasn't been updated recently, or isn't being maintained.
