How to tell if a website is a good one

This is also something the Library offers training in! And it's the subject of Edzard Ernst's column in the Guardian, particularly relating to complementary therapies. His "guidelines" include:

Could there be a conflict of interest?
Are claims supported by reliable evidence?
Is there information on the risks?

There are also links to a few suggested reputable sites.
