How to use this report

4 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts one new followed link from devpost.com at $386 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (B 99% · C 1%): $193 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $482 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $778 before relevance. A quote far above $486 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 75 / 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 31 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not devpost.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 2.1M monthly visits, 29% from organic search (623.1K). Visits fell 3.7% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “hackathons”, about 6,410 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means
  • AI assistant visits. 2.5% of its visits in Sept 2026 came from AI assistants' answers, about 53.6K (visits, not citations); ChatGPT sent the most in Sept 2026, 96% of them. · AI assistants · what this means

How BV is worked out

Site Strength 75 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from devpost.com would be worth up to $778 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 75 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $386 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $193 and $482.

Site Strength
75 / 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: 623.1K estimated monthly organic visits, as of 16 October 2026.

Ad value: what a month of the keyword's searches would cost as search ads (searches × cost per click) — what advertisers pay for it, not how hard it is to rank for. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on this site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money. Each keyword opens the list of sites where it is a top search keyword.

AI assistants

AI assistants sent about 53.6K visits in Sept 2026 — 2.5% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

Server and network

a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

devpost.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.

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.

Limitations: what this report does not show

5 stated plainly
  • No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
  • A CDN address is shared by unrelated sites, so it says nothing about ownership; no neighbours are listed for it.
  • 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 devpost.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.
