Backlink value and traffic report for github.com

• Price check. BV puts one new followed link from github.com at $639 (level C), priced on a blend of link types (A 36% · B 3% · C 62%): $319 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $798 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $1,477 before relevance. A quote far above $185 for a level C link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means

A link from github.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 140.82.121.4. 0 publications are on the same hosting network (GITHUB, AS36459).

• 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 github.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.
