    What things do you look at when you are buying from a site you have visited for the first time.

    1. Payment processor ?
    2. Site design ?
    3. Guarantee ?
    4. Just the sales pitch.
    5. How old the site is.
    6. Check for Contact details.
    7. Any other ?



    Regards,
    ASHISH THAKKAR

    I always call the phone number they have listed for customer support. It's a great indication of how reputable the business is and if in fact they are real. I also look for other customer reviews.

    I also try to find the people that are behind the site and search their names to only deal with good people.

    Whois, Alexa, Check with ad networks that the site and email is registered, speak to the seller, check the contact on the site leads to the seller analytics etc

    Site contents and traffics.
    Design and earning are not important.

    I'll give priority to check the sales track record and profit making ability of the website.

    I never buy from sites I haven't heard before. If I had to, I'd do all kinds of research on it before entering my cc details.

    I honestly don't buy from many sites. I usually stick with the ones I can trust, such as Amazon or Ebay. I look for the price of the product I want, and compare it with other sites offering the same product. I eventually usually choose Amazon as I get 2 day shipping for free. =)

    For me it really comes down to if it's a site I can trust or not. I don't bother reading or buying from many clickbank cookie cutter websites because they all look alike, and if they were really making a lot of money, they'd be able to hire a good web designer to build them a nice website. lol
