The Better Internet Bureau is an online, not-for-profit organization dedicated to making the Internet a safer place for people worldwide.
 
Members who join the Better Internet Bureau may display the Better Internet Bureau logo on their home page, assuring visitors that the site has been reviewed and is certified as a quality site.
 
Certification of a Web site builds a bond of trust with first-time visitors. Members also receive a free e-mail newsletter that alerts them to deceitful, fraudulent or dangerous locations on the Web.
 
Another important benefit is that the Bureau monitors Internet sites around the world and reports back to members any activity that may be of a questionable or unscrupulous nature.
 
Members are encouraged to report such sites for further investigation. If the Bureau reviews a site and agrees that it could cause harm to subscribers, an alert will be posted.
