Blatter said he was unware of any previous or current problems facing soccer's world governing body and noted that the smaller number of officials able to vote on deciding the World Cup venue, compared to the Olympics, greatly reduced the risk of vote-buying allegations.
"Definitely we are looking at this matter, especially now, for the World Cup in 2006," he said.
"We will issue very strict guidelines or instructions to the bidding committees," he said, adding that they would be published once the formal bidding process got under way.
Eight countries - Brazil, England, Egypt, Germany, Ghana, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa - have all announced their intention to bid for the 2006 finals.
The decision on where they will be held will be taken by the FIFA Executive in March 2000.
Blatter noted that the FIFA executive committee which awarded the 2002 World Cup to Japan and South Korea comprised just 21 members, compared to the 114 on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) who voted in the controversial decision to award next year's Winter Games to Salt Lake City.
"Twenty-one members is really a group of people that are easier to supervise than a group of 114," he said.
"In my 24 years in FIFA I have never heard any complaints or any moves toward trying to buy or to have advantages for votes."
The IOC has questioned 13 of its members over allegations they accepted substantial gifts from Salt Lake organisers. One IOC member has already resigned over the issue.
