How does it work?

Once you subscribe, when you search for some specific queries on Google you will see an additional informational block above the regular search results that we provide through Google Co-op project. Note that subscribing to FairTradeAuthority.com's feed does not alter your search results in any other way. You can always ignore, delete or turn off the subscribed link in the search results.

Here are queries we support:

scam ###

When you start your query with 'scam' we show you relevant information about a certain online business being a scam, if any. If that online business following the word 'scam' is a merchant member of the Fair tarde Authority, you will instead be shown a link stating that it is safe to buy from that merchant and redirecting you to the member status at the Fair Trade Authority website.
Example: scam keydigital.co.uk

free anti-phishing protection

When you do a search containing the word 'phishing' we try to show you the best relevant information related to your search, with free software, reports, warnings and news for your protection against this Internet plague.
Example: phishing

any queries

Merchants verified by the Fair Trade Authority will be connected with two keywords relevant to their business. Consumers searching for those keywords on Google will be shown a link to the related merchants member status page on the FTA website. This will ensure great exposure for the merchant and the possibility for the consumer to be addressed to reliable, honest and reputable merchants to make business with, from their Google searches. The following example will return a link to the member status page of www.salehoo.com at the Fair Trade Authority website, indicating that that merchant, who sells wholesale distributors information, is a FTA verified member who accepts and follows the FTA code of ethics for merchants, trading online fairly.
Example: wholesale distributors

Please note, that all example queries above will only work once you subscribe to FairTradeAuthority.com's Co-op feed at Google.
