## Links placed here

No link placed on hotfrog.com has been audited yet. [An audit on bklink.uk](https://bklink.uk/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) checks each one — still there, followed or not, where it sits — and marks this report audited.

This report's link to hotfrog.com is nofollow. It is followed only when the site's owner audits hotfrog.com's own backlinks on bklink.uk, chooses to publish it and proves the site is theirs — for 90 days from each audit.

How to use this report 3 ways to use these figures

- **Price check.** BV puts a new link from hotfrog.com at $70 (level B · nofollow): $35 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $87 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed one would be worth $205 before relevance. A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $410 before relevance. A quote far above $256 for a followed level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · [Backlink value](https://mxverify.uk/publications/hotfrog.com#value) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#use)
- **Qualification and risk.** Its Site Strength is 60 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link), with nofollow on 79% of its links (in the 10 articles we read). The spam score of its links is 4 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not hotfrog.com's own. · [How BV is worked out](https://mxverify.uk/publications/hotfrog.com#bv-detail) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#levels)
- **Traffic reality check.** Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 397.6K monthly visits, 2.9% from organic search (11.5K). Visits fell 34% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “hot frog”, about 1,940 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · [Traffic in detail](https://mxverify.uk/publications/hotfrog.com#traffic) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#traffic)

How BV is worked out Site Strength 60 / 100 · level B · nofollow · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from hotfrog.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 (a guest, sponsored or listed link), but 79% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $70 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $35 and $87.

- **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: 11.5K estimated monthly organic visits, as of 16 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**: Level B — may be discounted · **nofollow** on 79% of its links → ×0.17 Read by Jev from our own reading of hotfrog.com's homepage and 10 articles; 79% of the links those articles make to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc, and BV caps that share of a new link at C. No link placed here has been audited yet.
- **Relevance to your site**: ×1 · neutral here; in an audit it runs from ×0.5 (unrelated) to ×1.25 (same topic)
- **BV score**: **$70** per link
- **Domain registered**: 1 May 2003 · 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 hotfrog.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 · nofollow here | 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 |

79% of hotfrog.com's links are nofollow, so a new link from it — a guest, sponsored or listed link — is priced at ×0.17: $70, where a followed one would be worth $205. BV prices the ranking value a link passes, and a nofollow link passes little.

How hotfrog.com links out: the full reading 10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 16 October 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (10 linked from its 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.

Strong sample 52 links to other sites across 10 articles published Oct 2015 – Feb 2024. Strong takes six or more articles and thirty or more links, spread over at least two months where the articles are dated.

**Links its articles make to other sites**

- Followed 21%
- Nofollow 79%
- Sponsored 0%
- User-generated (ugc) 0%

52 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 79% of a new link's weight at most C, because that share of the site's own links is nofollow, sponsored or ugc.

**What its homepage offers**

- **Advertising** · “Advertising”

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level **A** — A 69%, B 14%, C 17%, D 0%. Put together with what kind of site it is, how established it is, whether it sells placements and how it links out, a new link here is priced as A 0.2%, B 17%, C 83%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a publication (69%), small or niche as a source (92%), and selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (65%).

Traffic in detail engagement, top keywords, AI assistants

Modelled estimates for Sept 2026, as of 16 October 2026: site-wide, all visitors, not analytics measured on the site itself.

- **#121,381** global rank
- **#27,351** rank in US
- **49%** bounce rate
- **2.5** pages per visit
- **4m 26s** time on site

**Every channel**

- Organic search 2.9%
- Direct 73%
- Referrals 0.4%
- Social 23%
- AI assistants 0.0%
- Email 1.5%
- Paid 0.0%
- Affiliate and other 0%

Share of all visits. Organic search is highlighted: it is the traffic BV prices on.

**Top search keywords**

| Keyword | Searches / mo | CPC | Ad value / mo | Visits (est.) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [hotfrog](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/hotfrog) | 20.9K | $31.71 | $664K | 18.4K |
| [hot frog](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/hot-frog) | 2,820 | $0.69 | $1,946 | 1,940 |
| [hotfrog business listing](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/hotfrog-business-listing) | 890 | $51.32 | $45.7K | 650 |
| [hotfrog usa](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/hotfrog-usa) | 380 | $0.00 | $0 | 420 |
| [hotftoh](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/hotftoh) | 300 | $0.00 | $0 | 280 |

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 **80** visits in Sept 2026 — 0.0% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

ChatGPT

ChatGPT: Jul 2026 100%, Aug 2026 66%, Sept 2026 6.1%

| Assistant | Jul 2026 | Aug 2026 | Sept 2026 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ChatGPT | 100% | 66% | 6.1% |

At this volume the shares swing hard month to month: a handful of visits can move an assistant from 0% to 100%.

Third-party traffic estimates. BV uses only the organic-search figure.

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

hotfrog.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 hotfrog.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.
