Trusting the Internet is a very difficult – and very dangerous – thing to do. The wonderful thing about the web is that it is such an open and easily accessible medium on which to air your views and opinions. The bad thing about the web is that it is such an open and easily accessible medium on which to air your views and opinions. This ease of use and inherent flexibility presents a double-edged sword for those wanting to gather information.

Take a search I did recently, for example: I wanted to find a lot more about Wealth Masters International for an article I was writing. My searches started off well with Google giving me a lot of information. Then I realized that quite a few of these repositories of information about Wealth Masters International were written by those with an alternative agenda.

Here are some rules of thumb that I developed. Is a site telling you that Wealth Masters International is the ‘best ever’ without offering any reasons why it might not work for you? Then you’ve probably found an author with a vested interest in the program. If a site is telling you that Wealth Masters International is absolutely the worst thing ever invented then, again, you might be looking at a vested interested.
