How to chek if a website is safe and genuine

I always had a question if a website i am using for purchasing some item/service or subscribing for feeds/regular updates is safe to use.

So before i go ahead with using a website , i check the below info and would suggest the same to you

1. Check a few user reviews on google.

--->I just type the website name and type scam beside it. Like XYZ.com scam

This will give a lot of user reviews and you can get good idea about the website.

---> I again search for xyz.com cheating or XYZ.com sucks on google and check about the website reputation.


2. Check out the macfee site report for the website at http://www.siteadvisor.com/ . You can type xyz.com in the view site report box and check if its green and what are the websites thats its linked to. This will give you a clear picture as to what are the other websites it is related.

3. Check out Alexa.com website ranking to get an idea about the popularity of the website.

The above points should give a good idea about the website you are going to use.

Hope this helps. Leavee a comment if you need info or have inputs.
