How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from closeword.org at $87 (level B): $44 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $109 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $174 before relevance. A quote far above $109 for a 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). The spam score of its links is 6 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not closeword.org's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Oct 2026 estimate: 195.2K monthly visits, 17% from organic search (33.2K). Visits rose 6.3% from Aug 2026 to Oct 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “guess the word”, about 940 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Its domain was registered in 2026.
mxverify looked up closeword.org's address: no other publication in the directory runs on 65.108.78.181. 21 publications are on the same hosting network (Hetzner, AS24940) — a cloud platform hosting millions of unrelated sites, so that is no sign of a connection.
Hetzner is a cloud platform hosting millions of unrelated sites, so sharing it says nothing about who runs a site.
