Been seeing a lot of new opportunities pop up lately, and it got me thinking about the red flags. For me, a big one is when the site's tech stack is a mess or the domain history looks super spammy. If the site's been passed around a bunch or has a weak backlink profile that screams PBN, that's a major warning sign. Also, watch out for promises that sound too good to be true, especially with new GEOs. A site that requires a ton of immediate fixes for basic technical SEO is usually a money pit, not an asset. What else do you guys look for?

Definitely know that feeling, the landscape's just buzzing right now... but yeah, those red flags are crucial. While domain history and PBNs are massive tells, I often find myself scrutinizing the content quality and overall user experience more closely. If the reviews are super generic, just rehashed from other sites, or filled with broken links and grammatical errors - that screams low effort, doesn't it? It's like they're just pushing out digital products... I mean, content... to fill space, hoping for a quick buck. A site that barely loads or has a janky navigation, even if the "tech stack" looks okay on paper, also makes me pause. It shows a lack of commitment, imo, and usually signals a short-term play before they vanish. You want something built to last, not just a temporary cash grab, right?
