How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from bizjournals.com at $482 (level B): $241 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $602 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $963 before relevance. A quote far above $602 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 80 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). The spam score of its links is 26 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not bizjournals.com's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 7.8M monthly visits, 35% from organic search (2.8M). Visits fell 23% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “tennis”, about 9,700 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Is a link from bizjournals.com worth placing?
That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.8, a link from bizjournals.com is worth $963 as an editorial citation (level A), $482 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $96 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $48 as a network link (level D), before relevance.

How does bizjournals.com's BV compare with other sites?
At about $482 a link, bizjournals.com is in the “$250 to $499” value band, with 131 of the 3,589 sites valued on mxverify. 24 sites are in a higher band. The counts are mxverify's own, taken from its directory at the last daily update.

How much traffic does bizjournals.com get?
bizjournals.com gets about 7.8M visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 35% of them (2.8M) come from organic search. Visits fell 23% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.
In short: bizjournals.com draws about 7.8M visits a month, down 23% since Jul 2026.
Does bizjournals.com pass Core Web Vitals?
No: real Chrome users see bizjournals.com's largest content load in 2.5 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: bizjournals.com does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

Traffic in detail
Modelled estimates for Sept 2026, as of 22 October 2026: site-wide, all visitors, not analytics measured on the site itself.

AI assistants
AI assistants sent about 32K visits in Sept 2026 — 0.4% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:
| Assistant | Jul 2026 | Aug 2026 | Sept 2026 |

Server and network
No other publication in the directory runs on 34.237.162.142. 127 publications are on the same hosting network (Amazon AWS, AS14618) — a cloud platform hosting millions of unrelated sites, so that is no sign of a connection.
Amazon AWS is a cloud platform hosting 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
- 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 bizjournals.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.
- bizjournals.com's visits fell 23% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Half of Site Strength is organic search traffic, so a fall that lasts lowers BV when the figure is next read.
