How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts a new link from indiehunt.io at $80 (level B · nofollow): $40 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $100 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed one would be worth $134 before relevance. A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $267 before relevance. A quote far above $167 for a followed level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 50 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link), with nofollow on 50% of its links (in the 10 articles we read). · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Aug 2026 estimate: 19.3K monthly visits, 33% from organic search (6,295). Visits rose 97% from Jun 2026 to Aug 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “indiehunt”, about 300 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

How BV is worked out

Site Strength 50 / 100 · level B · nofollow · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from indiehunt.io would be worth up to $267 under BV 2.6, before relevance: its Site Strength is 50 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B (a guest, sponsored or listed link), but 50% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $80 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $40 and $100.

Site Strength
50 / 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: 6,295 estimated monthly organic visits, as of 29 September 2026.

A link from indiehunt.io, 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.

LevelWhat it isFactorValue
A — CountedAn editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers.×1$267
B — May be discounted · nofollow hereA guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing.×0.5$134

D — NetworkA site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages.×0.05$13

50% of indiehunt.io's links are nofollow, so a new link from it — a guest, sponsored or listed link — is priced at ×0.3: $80, where a followed one would be worth $134. BV prices the ranking value a link passes, and a nofollow link passes little.

How indiehunt.io links out: the full reading

10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 29 September 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (10 from across its sitemap). 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.

Thin sample 4 links to other sites across 10 articles published Jan 2024 – Aug 2026. 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
  • Followed50%
  • Nofollow50%
  • Sponsored0%
  • User-generated (ugc)0%

4 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 50% of a new link's weight at most C, because that share of the site's own links is nofollow, sponsored or ugc.

  • Advertising · “Advertising”

Articles read

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level B — A 3.0%, B 96%, C 1.0%, 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%, B 50%, C 51%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a directory or launch platform (100%), thin or made for links as a source (79%), and selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (78%).

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 323 visits in Aug 2026 — 1.7% of all visits. No assistant breakdown reported.

Server and network

1 other publication on the server · 453 on the network

1 other publication in the directory runs on 216.150.16.1, which is common on shared hosting and not by itself evidence of common ownership. 453 publications are on the same hosting network (Amazon AWS, AS16509) — a cloud platform hosting millions of unrelated sites, so that is no sign of a connection.

Other publications on 216.150.16.1

At this size that is ordinary shared hosting, listed for completeness, not as a finding.

Amazon AWS is a cloud platform hosting 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

4 stated plainly
  • 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 indiehunt.io 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.
