Another great article by Annie!I’d add these too off the top of my head: check how trusted the backlinks are....how many edu’s, gov’s, dmoz. Check how many pages they have indexed, check how many backlinks each page has (strongest subpage tool),

There is a a free cheat sheet at http://siteriver.com/domaintest.php to help you conduct a domain name background check.   Just enter the domain you are researching and links are generated to help you quickly research a domain’s current status and past history.
