Site report: icann.org
Audited by bklink.uk
bklink.uk has checked 1 link placed on icann.org, most recently on 11 September 2026: whether each is still on the page, followed or nofollow, in the article or tucked in a footer, and whether it stayed there.
Why it matters. A site's own word says what a link should be; an audit shows what it is. The figures under How its links behaved come from those checks, not from estimates, and each new audit adds to them.
We have audited 1 placed link on icann.org — too few to state rates. Its domain was registered in 1998.
The badge shows what a link from icann.org is worth, as this report does, and updates by itself. It links to this report.

The same provider, not the same machine — hosts put unrelated sites side by side.
Limitations: what this report does not show
- Only 1 link has been audited here — a sample too small to describe the publication as a whole.
- 1 audited page could not be read and is left out of the rates rather than guessed.
- 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 icann.org 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.
