Limitations: what this report does not show
- No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
- 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 apple.com 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.
