This website is very informative and an instructional website on how to make the most out of searching the internet and how to best evaluate a site looking at the search results before visiting the website.
The site displays copyright and provides the date it was last updated. There is also links to a glossary, checklist, links, test and help. Also from the home page there is information on how to use the site and about the site.
The step by step instructions on how to evaluate a site for its usefulness is quite unique and a handy reminder for even the most constant user of search engines to pick up tips that were easily missed.
Comment:
I think it would be more helpful for a more personal review of a website for users to help them decide on whether the content is useful however, not everyone has the same requirements and so it might be easier to get a generic overview before visiting a site especially if the review is long and involved.
