How do you verify a domain's history before buying or building links on it?

I've been burned a few times buying aged domains that looked clean but had a sketchy past. Now I always try to check WHOIS history before making a decision. What's your process for vetting a domain? Do you check historical ownership, DNS changes, or past registrant data? Is there a reliable way to spot domains that have been through multiple owners or used for spam? Would love to know what tools or methods you rely on.

    I usually check the domain's archive history, backlink profile, past ownership, indexed pages, and any signs of spam before making a decision. A few minutes of due diligence can save months of SEO headaches.
