I first consider the niche relevancy and actual organic traffic rather than just the DR/DA.
Next, I analyze traffic trend, number of indexed pages, outgoing links, content quality, and the natural backlink profile.

i look at niche relevance and real organic traffic first. good content, a natural backlink profile and not too many outbound links matter more to me than just high DR or DA.
Something else i do not overlook when analysing a site is whether the traffic that the site receives is relevant to the page where my link will be placed. There may be a well trafficked site but this might not be relevant for the target audience i am interested in. I also look into the nature of other posts that surround my posts .Hi everyone,
When you're evaluating a website for a guest post, what do you usually check first?
Some people focus on DR or DA, while others care more about organic traffic, niche relevance, or the number of outbound links.
For me, relevant traffic and content quality usually matter more than high metrics alone.
I'd like to hear how others evaluate websites before making a purchase.
