How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from digipen.edu at $361 (level A), priced on a blend of link types (A 80% · B 15% · C 5%): $180 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $451 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $410 before relevance. A quote far above $512 for a level A link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 60 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level A — counted (an editorial citation). In the 10 articles we read, 0% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 305.2K monthly visits, 16% from organic search (49.1K). Visits rose 33% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “krillion”, about 21.9K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Limitations: what this report does not show
- No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
- digipen.edu gives more than one kind of link (A 80% · B 15% · C 5%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $410 and a guest or sponsored one $205, before relevance.
