Baltimore-Based Entrepreneur Launches Internet Safe List Trust Seal & Web Validation Service

Nov. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Internet Safe List announced today the launch of its new technology platform to better serve the needs of web businesses looking for website validation and a seal of approval. Internet Safe List was founded by Baltimore based entrepreneur Nick Collins. The goal of Internet Safe List is to create a safe shopping experience for all Internet consumers and to create unified website legitimacy, while eliminating fraud, spam and bad business.

Collins, a self-described “Internet entrepreneur, business start-up consultant and webgeek,” was motivated to launch this service for businesses and consumers when he personally was a victim of web theft from an ecommerce store.  The end result was thousands of dollars of fraudulent purchases to his credit card.  He decided to dedicate himself to improving Internet safety and now regularly speaks at schools and technology centers about Internet safety, and Internet startups.  Collin’s past experiences in Maryland include working at the Emerging Tech Center (ETC) in Baltimore for 3 years as well as Maryland Public TV’s “Wall Street week with Louis Rukeyser.”

Internet Safe List offers ecommerce sites and businesses a website background check, security seal and inclusion in a reputable list of safe Internet sites. Every participating website must first undergo the scrutiny of a research team and adopt stated standards of practice. Internet Safe List not only allows websites to verify their integrity to customers, it also assists consumers to find web businesses that they can trust.

The ISL Seal exposes web businesses to more opportunities, referrals, and improved search engine placement through the smart keyword based safe list system. Collins stated, “We believe that our 3rd party independent auditing is a great added value for both ecommerce sites as well as shoppers. Our services include the following making sure that the website has a customer support policy, a no spam policy, and is a safe site that will not sell information or commit any act of fraud.” Internet Safe List’s newly launched platform offers businesses a new slate of functionality, including a full report profile with comments and feedback.
