How to use this report 3 ways to use these figures

- **Price check.** BV puts one new followed link from brave.com at $658 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 42% · B 51% · C 7%): $329 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $823 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. · [Backlink value](https://mxverify.uk/publications/brave.com#value) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#use)
- **Qualification and risk.** Its Site Strength is 80 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link).

How BV is worked out Site Strength 80 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from brave.com would be worth up to $963 under BV 2.7, before relevance: its Site Strength is 80 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $658 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $329 and $823.

- **Site Strength**: **80** / 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: 12.3M estimated monthly organic visits, as of 30 September 2026.
- **Worth up to**: $963 · 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**: Mostly level B — may be discounted · A 42%, B 51%, C 7% → ×0.68 (each level's factor below, weighted by those shares) Read by Jev from our own reading of brave.com's homepage and 10 articles. 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**: **$658** per link
- **Domain registered**: 18 September 1995 · 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 brave.com, by link type

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A — Counted | An editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers. | ×1 | $963 |
| B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $482 |
| C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $96 |
| D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $48 |

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level **A** — A 98%, B 1.0%, C 1.0%, 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 42%, B 51%, C 6.9%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a publication (94%), established as a source (78%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (52%).

Traffic in detail engagement, top keywords, AI assistants

Modelled estimates for Aug 2026, as of 30 September 2026: site-wide, all visitors, not analytics measured on the site itself.

- **#67** global rank
- **#72** rank in US
- **29%** bounce rate
- **4.3** pages per visit
- **4m 18s** time on site

**Every channel**

- Organic search 1.8%
- Direct 96%
- Referrals 0.6%
- Social 0.2%
- AI assistants 0.6%
- Email 0.5%
- Paid 0.2%
- Affiliate and other 0.0%

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.) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [brave](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/brave) | 2.3M | $0.88 | $2.1M | 3.4M |
| [brave browser](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/brave-browser) | 1.6M | $0.61 | $969.7K | 1.9M |
| [brave search](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/brave-search) | 265.8K | $0.65 | $172.8K | 629.5K |
| [brave download](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/brave-download) | 166.2K | $1.00 | $166.2K | 172.1K |
| [brave browser download](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/brave-browser-download) | 145.2K | $1.01 | $146.6K | 152.2K |

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 **4M** visits in Aug 2026 — 0.6% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

ChatGPT: Jun 2026 69%, Jul 2026 63%, Aug 2026 73%; Gemini: Jun 2026 11%, Jul 2026 20%, Aug 2026 13%; DeepSeek: Jun 2026 1.3%, Jul 2026 1.4%, Aug 2026 7.0%

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

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

Server and network 0 other publications on the server · 453 on the network

No other publication in the directory runs on 54.230.201.70. 453 publications are on the same hosting network (Amazon AWS, AS16509) — 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 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 brave.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.
