    Hello All,

    I found a site i want to purchase (1500-2000$) and since its my first purchase above 600$ I want to take some caution steps.

    the revenue of the site is from ads and affiliates, how can I verify the seller's screenshots? is it OK to ask to login myself to his account?

    how others do that?

    about traffic - he doesnt use Google Analytics, should I trust the server starts or its worthless?

    and last - should I avoid purchasing this scale of site from a newbie at DP (no itrades and joined this month)?

    also, I will apreciate any others tips I should check (back links? alexa? etc..)

    Thanks
    Kobi

    You can verified it by asking the seller to add your emails at the user management tools at analytic.
    And i advise you to use escrow service when dealing with newbies.
    You need to check the PR of the site.

    Thanks Mentos,
    I dont understand what you mean by "add your emails to analytic"?
    He do not use Google Analytics, so you mean to the server statistics panel?

    Also use escrow service which will protect you from fraudulent transaction.
