How to use this report 3 ways to use these figures

- **Price check.** BV puts a new link from alternativeto.net at $142 (level B · nofollow): $71 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $178 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed one would be worth $314 before relevance. A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $628 before relevance. A quote far above $393 for a followed level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · [Backlink value](https://mxverify.uk/publications/alternativeto.net#value) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#use)
- **Qualification and risk.** Its Site Strength is 70 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link), with nofollow on 63% of its links (in the 10 articles we read). · [How BV is worked out](https://mxverify.uk/publications/alternativeto.net#bv-detail) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#levels)

How BV is worked out Site Strength 70 / 100 · level B · nofollow · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from alternativeto.net would be worth up to $628 under BV 2.7, before relevance: its Site Strength is 70 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B (a guest, sponsored or listed link), but 63% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $142 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $71 and $178.

- **Site Strength**: **70** / 100, in steps of 5 · half the site's authority rating, half its organic traffic on a log scale; 100 is the strongest site on the web. Traffic: 1.1M estimated monthly organic visits, as of 1 October 2026.
- **Worth up to**: $628 · a followed editorial link at this strength, before relevance (×0.5 unrelated to ×1.25 same topic) — see [how it is calculated](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value#how)
- **Usual link type**: Level B — may be discounted · **nofollow** on 63% of its links → ×0.23 Read by Jev from our own reading of alternativeto.net's homepage and 10 articles; 63% 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; in an audit it runs from ×0.5 (unrelated) to ×1.25 (same topic)
- **BV score**: **$142** per link
- **Domain registered**: 18 January 2008 · shown for context; BV does not price on age, but a domain registered in the last 30 days is never priced as not in Google

### A link from alternativeto.net, by link type

The same site is worth very different amounts depending on the link it gives you. This is what each level is worth here.

| Level | What it is | Factor | Value |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A — Counted | An editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers. | ×1 | $628 |
| B — May be discounted · nofollow here | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $314 |
| C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $63 |
| D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $31 |

63% of alternativeto.net's links are nofollow, so a new link from it — a guest, sponsored or listed link — is priced at ×0.23: $142, where a followed one would be worth $314. BV prices the ranking value a link passes, and a nofollow link passes little.

How alternativeto.net links out: the full reading 10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 1 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.

Fair sample 27 links to other sites across 10 articles published Jun 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 37%
- Nofollow 33%
- Sponsored 30%
- User-generated (ugc) 0%

27 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 63% 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.

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level **A** — A 49%, B 41%, C 10%, 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 30%, C 69%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a directory or launch platform (85%), established as a source (43%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (79%).

Traffic in detail engagement, top keywords, AI assistants

Modelled estimates for Aug 2026, as of 1 October 2026: site-wide, all visitors, not analytics measured on the site itself.

- **#23,978** global rank
- **#18,497** rank in US
- **40%** bounce rate
- **3.2** pages per visit
- **1m 56s** time on site

**Every channel**

- Organic search 49%
- Direct 34%
- Referrals 5.5%
- Social 4.3%
- AI assistants 1.6%
- Email 0.4%
- Paid 5.0%
- Affiliate and other 0%

Share of all visits. Organic search is highlighted: it is the traffic BV prices on.

**Top search keywords**

| Keyword | Searches / mo | CPC | Ad value / mo | Visits (est.) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [alternativeto](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/alternativeto) | 69.1K | $2.21 | $152.7K | 104.7K |
| [alternative to](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/alternative-to) | 20K | $3.31 | $66.2K | 30.9K |
| [ext torrent](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/ext-torrent) | 86.2K | $0.33 | $28.5K | 11.8K |
| [ext torrents](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/ext-torrents) | 70.9K | $0.00 | $0 | 7,970 |
| [cineby alternative](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/cineby-alternative) | 39.9K | $0.56 | $22.3K | 3,690 |

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 **37.4K** visits in Aug 2026 — 1.6% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

ChatGPT: Jun 2026 77%, Jul 2026 85%, Aug 2026 78%; Claude: Jun 2026 3.6%, Jul 2026 3.2%, Aug 2026 11%; Gemini: Jun 2026 2.1%, Jul 2026 3.6%, Aug 2026 8.6%

| Assistant | Jun 2026 | Jul 2026 | Aug 2026 |

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

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

alternativeto.net 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 5 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.
- A link that is followed is not necessarily a link search engines value; this record does not measure rankings or traffic.
- The BV score is what one new followed link from alternativeto.net is worth to rankings, from its Site Strength and the kind of link on offer. It is not a price, and it does not predict what a link will do for a particular site: relevance to that site moves it between half and one and a quarter times.
- Traffic figures come from a third-party traffic source, named with its date in the evidence box above; no one outside a site sees its analytics.
