Authoritative: Of acknowledged accuracy or excellence; highly reliable

I have a site that offers free widget code for your web site.

#1. My free widget code site is Freewidgetcode.com
#2. My site has offered free widget code for 5+ years.
#3. My site has been consistently ranked #1 on all 3 major search engines for the past 4 years for free widget code and related terms.
#4. My free widget code is used by tens of thousands of satisfied customers and has 1000's of back links.

In addition my Free Widget Code is REALLY 100% free unlike many others that say free (seo tricks) but actually charge or have a free version which is crap and has to be upgraded to be worth anything.

My site is not a government site or a big corporation. (the big corporations are the ones trying to trick you into thinking they are free to get your money for the widget code)

If anyone doesn't think my site, based on the above statements being a fact, is an authoritative source for Free Widget Code I would like to know why.

At the beginning of this thread msndude asked.

>Can a site be an authority if it's not government, educational, or from a big corporation?

The fact he even asked that question is kind of scary.

I certainly hope MSN Search doesn't use that as a guideline for what is authoritative. Government and big corporations in particular are often in the business of propaganda which can frequently be the opposite of authoritative.
