- **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).

Quick answers about alternative.tools 9 questions answered

### What is a link from alternative.tools worth?

BV, mxverify's backlink value, is an estimate of what one new followed link from a site is worth to rankings: by BV 2.9, a new link from alternative.tools is worth about $28 (level B · nofollow). Relevance moves it: $14 to an unrelated site, $36 to a same-topic site.

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](https://mxverify.uk/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](https://mxverify.uk/methodology)

### How does alternative.tools's BV compare with other sites?

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.

In short: 713 of the 3,822 valued sites sit in a higher value band than alternative.tools.

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](https://mxverify.uk/publications/alternative.tools#evidence)

### 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.

### Does alternative.tools link out with nofollow?

In the 10 articles we read, alternative.tools made 9 links to other sites, and 56% of them were nofollow, sponsored or ugc; the other 44% were followed. BV prices a nofollow link at level C (×0.1), whatever the site is otherwise worth.

In short: about 56% of alternative.tools's outbound links are nofollow, so a new link placed there may be too.

Source: [third-party backlink index, Oct 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/alternative.tools#evidence)

### 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

A followed editorial link from alternative.tools would be worth up to $114 under BV 2.9, before relevance: its Site Strength is 30 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B (a guest, sponsored or listed link), but 56% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $28 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $14 and $36.

- **Site Strength**: **30** / 100 ([how Site Strength is worked out](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#reading-a-report)). Traffic: 1,320 estimated monthly organic visits, as of 29 October 2026.
- **Worth up to**: $114 · before relevance — [how it is calculated](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value#how)
- **Usual link type**: Level B — may be discounted · **nofollow** on 56% of its links → ×0.25 Read by Jev from our own reading of alternative.tools's homepage and 10 articles; 56% of the links those articles make to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc, and BV caps that share of a new link at C. No link placed here has been audited yet.
- **Relevance to your site**: ×1 · neutral here ([range in an audit](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#reading-a-report))
- **BV score**: **$28** per link
- **Domain registered**: 2 August 2026 · shown for context ([how age is used](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#reading-a-report))

### A link from alternative.tools, by link type

A link from alternative.tools at each level. [What each level means](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#link-levels).

| Level | Factor | Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A — Counted | ×1 | $114 |
| B — May be discounted · nofollow here | ×0.5 | $57 |
| C — Usually neutralised | ×0.1 | $11 |
| D — Network | ×0.05 | $5.68 |

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**

- Followed 44%
- Nofollow 22%
- Sponsored 33%
- 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.

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%).

Ad value: what a month of the keyword's searches would cost as search ads (searches × cost per click) — what advertisers pay for it, not how hard it is to rank for. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on this site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money. Each keyword opens the list of sites where it is a top search keyword.

### AI assistants

AI assistants sent about **74** visits in Sept 2026 — 1.6% of all visits. No assistant breakdown reported.

**AI crawler access**

alternative.tools's robots.txt lets every AI crawler below read the site.

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.

Third-party traffic estimates. BV uses only the organic-search figure.

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.
