How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts a new link from betakit.com at $64 (level B · nofollow): $32 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $80 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed one would be worth $254 before relevance. A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $507 before relevance. A quote far above $317 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 65 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link), with nofollow on 94% of its links (in the 10 articles we read). The spam score of its links is 12 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not betakit.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 244.1K monthly visits, 38% from organic search (92.5K). Visits rose 8.7% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “betakit”, about 1,490 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

Relevance moves it: $32 to an unrelated site, $80 to a same-topic site. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a price anyone charges.

Is a link from betakit.com worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.8, a link from betakit.com is worth $507 as an editorial citation (level A), $254 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $51 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $25 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $317 for a followed level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a verdict on the site or a price anyone charges.

How much traffic does betakit.com get?

betakit.com gets about 244.1K visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 38% of them (92.5K) come from organic search. Visits rose 8.7% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

In short: betakit.com draws about 244.1K visits a month, up 8.7% since Jul 2026.

Source: third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026

Does betakit.com pass Core Web Vitals?

Yes: real Chrome users see betakit.com's largest content load in 1.2 s (LCP), and every vital reported for it is 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: betakit.com passes Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

Source: Chrome UX Report, 28 days to 19 Oct 2026; web.dev: Web Vitals

How old is betakit.com?

The domain betakit.com was registered in 2007, 19 years ago. Domain age is a fact from the registry record, not a measure of a site's quality.

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

Has betakit.com been audited?

No link placed on betakit.com 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: betakit.com's report is valued, not audited.

How BV is worked out

Site Strength 65 / 100 · level B · nofollow · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from betakit.com would be worth up to $507 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 65 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B (a guest, sponsored or listed link), but 94% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $64 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $32 and $80.

Site Strength
65 / 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: 92.5K estimated monthly organic visits, as of 22 October 2026.

A link from betakit.com, 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.

94% of betakit.com's links are nofollow, so a new link from it — a guest, sponsored or listed link — is priced at ×0.13: $64, where a followed one would be worth $254. BV prices the ranking value a link passes, and a nofollow link passes little.

How betakit.com links out: the full reading

10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 22 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 54 links to other sites across 10 articles published in 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
  • Followed5.6%
  • Nofollow94%
  • Sponsored0%
  • User-generated (ugc)0%

54 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 94% of a new link's weight at most C, because that share of the site's own links is nofollow, sponsored or ugc.

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 97%, B 1.0%, C 2.0%, 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 1.0%, B 4.5%, C 95%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a publication (100%), established as a source (79%), and selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (77%).

Limitations: what this report does not show

4 stated plainly
  • 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 betakit.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.
