"Protecting children's on-line experience is one thing we do, but finding websites that appeal to kid's natural curiosities and that help to enlighten and educate while being entertaining at the same time is another", said Katherine Morrow, co-founder of TheRatingsGuy.com. "Parents should embrace on-line activity, but should always be aware of where their kids are going during their on-line session", she added.

The Ratings Guy was developed by a team, experienced in the consumer research and ratings field and frustrated with the search industry's inability to separate advertising from editorial. The company reviews and rates websites across an array of popular consumer lifestyle categories including: health, travel, house & home, pets, gourmet food, kids, shopping, and more. The Ratings Guy is an independent and objective resource, supported by research librarians and researchers (the original search engines) who seek to identify the very best Web resources. The company uses a proprietary review methodology to test sites against its own benchmarks for transparency, accuracy, timeliness, functionality, trust, and usefulness.
