How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts a new link from alternative.tools at $28 (level B · nofollow): $14 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $36 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed one would be worth $57 before relevance. A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $114 before relevance. A quote far above $71 for a followed level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 30 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link), with nofollow on 56% of its links (in the 10 articles we read). The spam score of its links is 6 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not alternative.tools's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 4,706 monthly visits, 28% from organic search (1,320). Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “getbirthchart.com”, about 50 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

Quick answers about alternative.tools

9 questions answered

In short: a link from alternative.tools is worth about $28 to rankings, up to $36 on the same topic.

Source: mxverify BV 2.9 methodology

Is a link from alternative.tools worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from alternative.tools is worth $114 as an editorial citation (level A), $57 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $11 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $5.68 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $71 for a followed level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers.

Source: mxverify BV 2.9 methodology

At about $28 a link, alternative.tools is in the “$10 to $49” value band, with 979 of the 3,822 sites valued on mxverify. 713 sites are in a higher band.

Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update

How much traffic does alternative.tools get?

alternative.tools gets about 4,706 visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 28% of them (1,320) come from organic search.

Source: third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026

Does alternative.tools pass Core Web Vitals?

No: real Chrome users see alternative.tools's largest content load in 3.0 s (LCP), and at least one vital reported for it is not at Google's good level. The figures are from the Chrome UX Report (CC BY 4.0), the 75th percentile of real visits. Core Web Vitals describe how a page feels to its visitors; BV does not use them.

In short: alternative.tools does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

How old is alternative.tools?

The domain alternative.tools was registered in 2026.

Source: the public registration record; RFC 9083: RDAP JSON responses

Has alternative.tools been audited?

No link placed on alternative.tools has been audited yet, so this report shows no rates for how its links behave. Its backlink value comes from site-level figures (its authority rating, traffic and our reading of its articles), not from audited placements.

In short: alternative.tools's report is valued, not audited.

How BV is worked out

Site Strength 30 / 100 · level B · nofollow · each factor and link type

56% of alternative.tools's links are nofollow, so a new link from it — a guest, sponsored or listed link — is priced at ×0.25: $28, where a followed one would be worth $57. BV prices the ranking value a link passes, and a nofollow link passes little.

How alternative.tools links out: the full reading

10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 29 October 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (4 from its feed, 6 from across its sitemap). This is our own reading of the site, not a vendor's figure, and it is what places a new link on the A–D scale until links placed here are audited.

Thin sample 9 links to other sites across 10 articles published Aug 2026 – Oct 2026. Strong takes six or more articles and thirty or more links, spread over at least two months where the articles are dated.

Links its articles make to other sites
  • Followed44%
  • Nofollow22%
  • Sponsored33%
  • User-generated (ugc)0%

9 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 56% of a new link's weight at most C, because that share of the site's own links is nofollow, sponsored or ugc.

What its homepage offers

No guest-post, sponsored-post or advertising pages linked from the homepage.

Runs on Next.js.

Articles read

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level A — A 52%, B 42%, C 6.0%, D 0%. Put together with what kind of site it is, how established it is, whether it sells placements and how it links out, a new link here is priced as A 0.5%, B 37%, C 53%, D 9.0%.

Jev reads it as a directory or launch platform (58%), small or niche as a source (67%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (69%).

Read from alternative.tools/robots.txt on 29 October 2026. robots.txt is a request that crawlers choose to follow; a site can also refuse crawlers at its server, which this card does not see. Google's AI Overviews use Googlebot, so Google-Extended does not affect them.

Server and network

a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

Its domain was registered in 2026.

mxverify looked up alternative.tools's address: it is served through Cloudflare (CDN), a content delivery network. Its address is shared edge infrastructure used by unrelated sites, so it cannot show who else runs on the same server, and sharing the network is no sign of a connection.

Cloudflare (CDN) fronts millions of unrelated sites, so sharing it says nothing about who runs a site. The count is shown; the sites are not listed.

Limitations: what this report does not show

2 stated plainly
  • No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
  • A CDN address is shared by unrelated sites, so it says nothing about ownership; no neighbours are listed for it.
