Backlink value and traffic report for cbinsights.com

• Price check. BV puts one new followed link from cbinsights.com at $315 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 12% · B 73% · C 15%): $158 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $394 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $628 before relevance. A quote far above $393 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
• Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 70 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). The spam score of its links is 19 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not cbinsights.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means

A link from cbinsights.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.

No other publication in the directory runs on 18.65.14.6. 472 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.

• 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 cbinsights.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.
• cbinsights.com gives more than one kind of link (A 12% · B 73% · C 15%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $628 and a guest or sponsored one $314, before relevance.
• cbinsights.com's visits fell 12% 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.
