How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts a new link from builtbyindies.com at $39 (level B · nofollow): $19 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $48 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed one would be worth $87 before relevance. A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $174 before relevance. A quote far above $109 for a followed level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 40 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link), with nofollow on 60% of its links (in the 8 articles we read). The spam score of its links is 40 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not builtbyindies.com's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 8,363 monthly visits, 35% from organic search (2,895). Visits rose 597% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “builtbyindies”, about 40 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 2025.
mxverify looked up builtbyindies.com's address: it 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.
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.
