Quick answers about buzzfeed.com 8 questions answered ### What is a link from buzzfeed.com worth? BV, mxverify's backlink value, is an estimate of what one new followed link from a site is worth to rankings: by BV 2.9, a new followed link from buzzfeed.com is worth about $748 (level B). Relevance moves it: $374 to an unrelated site, $935 to a same-topic site. In short: a link from buzzfeed.com is worth about $748 to rankings, up to $935 on the same topic. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### Is a link from buzzfeed.com worth placing? That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from buzzfeed.com is worth $1,193 as an editorial citation (level A), $596 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $119 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $60 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $746 for a level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### How does buzzfeed.com's BV compare with other sites? At about $748 a link, buzzfeed.com is in the “$500 or more” value band, with 46 of the 4,378 sites valued on mxverify. No site is in a higher band. In short: buzzfeed.com is in the highest value band of the 4,378 sites valued on mxverify. Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update ### How much traffic does buzzfeed.com get? buzzfeed.com gets about 45.4M visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 36% of them (16.2M) come from organic search. Visits fell 7.3% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. In short: buzzfeed.com draws about 45.4M visits a month, down 7.3% since Jul 2026. Source: [third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/buzzfeed.com#evidence) ### Does buzzfeed.com pass Core Web Vitals? No: real Chrome users see buzzfeed.com's largest content load in 1.5 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: buzzfeed.com does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data. Source: [Chrome UX Report, 28 days to 3 Nov 2026](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/crux); [web.dev: Web Vitals](https://web.dev/articles/vitals) ### Does buzzfeed.com link out with nofollow? In the 10 articles we read, buzzfeed.com made 252 links to other sites, and 0% of them were nofollow, sponsored or ugc; the other 100% were followed. BV prices a nofollow link at level C (×0.1), whatever the site is otherwise worth.

The domain buzzfeed.com was registered in 2002, 24 years ago. Source: the public registration record; [RFC 9083: RDAP JSON responses](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9083/) ### Has buzzfeed.com been audited? No link placed on buzzfeed.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: buzzfeed.com's report is valued, not audited.

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites Its domain was registered in 2002. mxverify looked up buzzfeed.com's address: it is served through Fastly (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. Fastly (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.
