Backlink value

bklinkBV$83per link · level B · nofollow · strength 65

A followed editorial link from brightdata.com would be worth up to $507 under BV 2.4, 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 84% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $83 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $42 and $104.

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: estimated monthly organic visits, TabAPI, 26 September 2026.

A link from brightdata.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.

LevelWhat it isFactorValue
A — CountedAn editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers.×1$507
B — May be discounted · nofollow hereA guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing.×0.5$254
C — Usually neutralisedA press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link.×0.1$51
D — NetworkA site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages.×0.05$25

84% of brightdata.com's links are nofollow, so a new link from it — a guest, sponsored or listed link — is priced at ×0.16: $83, where a followed one would be worth $254. BV prices the ranking value a link passes, and a nofollow link passes little.

How brightdata.com links out

Read by mxverify on 26 September 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (9 from across its sitemap, 1 linked from its homepage). 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 bought here are audited.

Fair sample 25 links to other sites across 10 articles published Jul 2021 – Aug 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
  • Followed16%
  • Nofollow84%
  • Sponsored0%
  • User-generated (ugc)0%

25 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 84% 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.

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level A — A 84%, B 7.0%, C 9.0%, 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 4.5%, B 6.0%, C 90%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a publication (72%), established as a source (49%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (93%).

Server and network

brightdata.com 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.

CDNedge address, not a server
547on the same hosting network

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.
