Ratings

Various browsers and third-party products aim to protect children and others from inappropriate and offensive content by use of rating systems. If you have a site with such content, you best serve the public by accurately rating it as such. If your site has no such content, you risk having access to it blocked in error unless you rate it since some schemes block unrated sites by default.
There are two types of ratings, those where you rate your own page or site, and those where you submit your page or site for rating by others. There are three types of results produced, either a PICS (Platform for Internet Content Selection) tag that you add to the HEAD block of your page, the placement of your page or site in a "white list" or "black list" database used by some products, or simply permission to display a graphic on your site. There is no charge to use any of the rating systems listed below.

ICRA

ICRA (formerly the Internet Content Rating Association) has been integrated into Microsoft Internet Explorer (4.0 and newer) and many software packages that provide parental or employer controls on which sites can be reached by a user or from within a network.

First you fill out a very detailed questionnaire and then your rating and the appropriate PICS meta tag will be displayed. You then copy and paste it directly into the header of your web page(s). You can then optionally include a ICRA text or graphic link on your page(s). You'll see one near the bottom left of this page.
