I check existing trades (backlinks if possible) & what kind of free sites are listed (number of submissions says nothing - I recently bought one LL that was getting 120+ submissions per day but mostly russian multisubmitters who dont care about any rules, so when I applied my blacklist it gets ~ 20

)
Of course the fact I do or don't know the person I'm goind to trade with is very important factor
This thread reminded me that since a while I was about to PM few of you
