A featured WebmasterWorld thread has tips on what things to look for when purchasing links. I thought I pull out 10 of them to make a top ten list:

  1. Relevancy to your page
  2. Alexa ranking
  3. Site popularity in niche
  4. PageRank
  5. Site health in search engines
  6. Location of links on page
  7. Site rankings
  8. Do they look bought?
  9. Are your links useful?
  10. Number of other links on that page

The list is in no order, just some highlights from the WebmasterWorld thread.
