You are trying to determine whether a certain website is a credible source. you notice it has advertisements along the top and sides of the page. the page is titled "you need this today! " what is most likely to be the main purpose of the website? to teach to inform to persuade to entertain question 3(multiple choice worth 6 points)

I wouldn't trust this website! I can see why it would be questionable.

Explanation:

If the website lists more advertisements than the information, itself, It's more than likely not a credible source. In order to find a credible website, you must

-check to see when the article was written. If its older than five years old, the information would be labeled as "out-of-date". You want something that is updated.

-See if the authors name is listed. How about if the article lists about the author. This way you would know if the author specializes in a certain subject, much like the one their article is written about. Research the author and see if they have any other articles they've written about.

-If the advertisement takes up a majority of the page (just like pop-ups/videos that play automatically), their goal is to distract the reader from doing their thing on the website. The goal of the advertisement is to persuade and inform the reader of minimal information as possible.

Hence, I wouldn't think this website is as credible as it seems. Keep in mind to check these tings when doing research. Stay safe out there.

I truly hope this helps. If not, oh well.
