Evaluating Web Sites

How to Read a Web Address (URL)
Evaluating a Website (includes information on alltheweb.com)

alltheweb.com
is a great site that allows you to determine who owns a site, who the site links to, who links to the site (reverse links), who has the name of the site listed on their site, and what the site looked like in the past.
