Quick answers about gust.com 8 questions answered ### What is a link from gust.com worth? BV, mxverify's backlink value, is an estimate of what one new followed link from a site is worth to rankings: by BV 2.8, a new followed link from gust.com is worth about $203 (level B). Relevance moves it: $102 to an unrelated site, $254 to a same-topic site. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a price anyone charges. In short: a link from gust.com is worth about $203 to rankings, up to $254 on the same topic. Source: [mxverify BV 2.8 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### Is a link from gust.com worth placing? That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.8, a link from gust.com is worth $410 as an editorial citation (level A), $205 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $41 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $20 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $256 for a level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a verdict on the site or a price anyone charges. Source: [mxverify BV 2.8 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### How does gust.com's BV compare with other sites? At about $203 a link, gust.com is in the “$100 to $249” value band, with 232 of the 3,589 sites valued on mxverify. 155 sites are in a higher band. The counts are mxverify's own, taken from its directory at the last daily update. In short: 155 of the 3,589 valued sites sit in a higher value band than gust.com. Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update ### How much traffic does gust.com get? gust.com gets about 136K visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 28% of them (38.1K) come from organic search. Visits fell 17% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. In short: gust.com draws about 136K visits a month, down 17% since Jul 2026. Source: [third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/gust.com#evidence) ### Does gust.com pass Core Web Vitals? Yes: real Chrome users see gust.com's largest content load in 1.7 s (LCP), and every vital reported for it is at Google's good level. The figures are from the Chrome UX Report (CC BY 4.0), the 75th percentile of real visits. Core Web Vitals describe how a page feels to its visitors; BV does not use them. In short: gust.com passes Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

The domain gust.com was registered in 1996, 30 years ago. Domain age is a fact from the registry record, not a measure of a site's quality. Source: the public registration record; [RFC 9083: RDAP JSON responses](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9083/) ### How many sites link to gust.com? 12,410 websites link to gust.com, each counted once. 3,335 of them (27%) link with nofollow. Source: [third-party backlink index, Oct 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/gust.com#evidence) ### Has gust.com been audited? No link placed on gust.com has been audited yet, so this report shows no rates for how its links behave. Its backlink value comes from site-level figures (its authority rating, traffic and our reading of its articles), not from audited placements. In short: gust.com's report is valued, not audited. How BV is worked out Site Strength 60 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type A followed editorial link from gust.com would be worth up to $410 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 60 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $203 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $102 and $254. - **Site Strength**: **60** / 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: 38.1K estimated monthly organic visits, as of 21 October 2026. - **Worth up to**: $410 · a followed editorial link at this strength, before relevance (×0.5 unrelated to ×1.25 same topic) — see [how it is calculated](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value#how) - **Usual link type**: Mostly level B — may be discounted · B 99%, C 1% → ×0.5 (each level's factor below, weighted by those shares) We read the homepage but found no articles to read, and no link placed here has been audited, so the default for a link inside an article applies. The table below shows the other levels. - **Relevance to your site**: ×1 · neutral here; in an audit it runs from ×0.5 (unrelated) to ×1.25 (same topic) - **BV score**: **$203** per link - **Domain registered**: 7 June 1996 · shown for context; BV does not price on age, but a domain registered in the last 30 days is never priced as not in Google ### A link from gust.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. | Level | What it is | Factor | Value | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | A — Counted | An editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers. | ×1 | $410 | | B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $205 | | C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $41 | | D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $20 | How gust.com links out: the full reading 0 articles read · each link counted Read by mxverify on 21 October 2026: the homepage and no articles — none could be found from its feed, sitemap or homepage. This is our own reading of the site, not a vendor's figure, and it is what places a new link on the A–D scale until links placed here are audited. **Links its articles make to other sites** No links to other sites in the articles read. **What its homepage offers** No guest-post, sponsored-post or advertising pages linked from the homepage.

BV uses only the organic-search figure. Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites gust.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.

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. - gust.com gives more than one kind of link (B 99% · C 1%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $410 and a guest or sponsored one $205, before relevance. - gust.com's visits fell 17% 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.
