1.  All or most information has to be free.
 

2.  The main purpose of the site is to provide information, primarily about consumer health, safety or protection.  Thus, I don't use sites which have the main purpose of promoting a product or service.
 

3.  Sites should be from:

Government. (I'm from the US so I know about US govt sites.  Sorry.)

Major organizations such as the American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, or the Better Business Bureau.

Listed in or reviewed by well known sources, such as Readers Digest, Dateline, Better Homes and Gardens, zdnet, cnet. If possible, I'll link to the review.

4. Sites should be easy to navigate, especially with a 56k modem, which is what I have. No graphics loaded sites.
 

5. Sites that don't require cookies or Java and don't have pop up ads. Just my preference. I don't like sites adding anything to my computer. I've also heard too much about security problems with cookies and Java, so since this site is about consumer protection, lets do without cookies and Java.

View this site without java so you won't get pop up ads!

6.  Sites that don't require you to register.  Since one purpose of my site is about consumer protection, that also means privacy, so not giving out any more information about yourself than you have to.
 

Finally, most sites listed are from the US.  I apologize to the international community.  This page is just a hobby, very part time, and I just haven't had time to look elsewhere.
 

If you have a suggestion that fits the above criteria, please let me know, AND send info about where the site is reviewed.  If I don't know the site, I won't list it unless it is reviewed by a major organization.
