anyways I had avoid sites which appear to be selling their links all around, with strange backlink nd load of thin content. i value visitors and relevance rather than DR.

I bounce right away if the site’s full of obvious sponsored posts or the content looks like it was written just to sell links.
Same if the backlink profile is a mess of spam. Those usually aren’t worth the risk.

i usually check out the latest posts that the website had posted. in case i find that the website is posting articlles hastily, jumping from one topic to another nd promoting another website in almost every post i will not consider this one. additionally, i try to figure out the target audience of the website rather than the ranking in the search engine. which one would matter to u more?

My biggest red flags would be when a website posts on completely irrelevant things every other day and have no audience whatsoever. DR might look gud on paper, but make sure that their own websites have organic traffics to begans with, though.

I will determines if their old posts were still indexed and gets real comments or other references some where else. one could manipulate links sellers in terms of metrics however, the absence of any foot prints online will be difficult to hide.

For me, if a site has loads of posts on random topics and most of them are paid links, thats a big red flag. I also check if the site gets real traffic and if the content looks useful. High DR alone doesnt mean much.
