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.

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 | $267 | | B — May be discounted · nofollow here | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $134 | | C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $27 | | D — Network | A 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** - Followed 50% - Nofollow 50% - Sponsored 0% - 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. **What its homepage offers** - **Advertising** · “Advertising” Runs on WordPress. ### Articles read | Article | Published | Words | Links out | Followed | Says | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Hall of Fame](https://indiehunt.io/hall-of-fame?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Jan 2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | — | | [MakerHunt - Discover & Launch Maker Products \| IndieHunt](https://indiehunt.io/project/makerhunt-discover-launch-maker-products?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Jun 2026 | 0 | 0 | 0 | — | | [Build a Hooper — Gaming Tech Tool \| IndieHunt](https://indiehunt.io/project/build-a-hooper?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Jan 2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | — | | [Noah AI : The Gateway to Executive Intelligence \| IndieHunt](https://indiehunt.io/project/noah-ai-the-gateway-to-executive-intelligence?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Jan 2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | — | | [Covered Call Screener — Artificial Intelligence Tool \| IndieHunt](https://indiehunt.io/project/covered-call-screener?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Jan 2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | — | | [Analytics Sports Jobs — Artificial Intelligence Tool \| IndieHunt](https://indiehunt.io/project/analytics-sports-jobs?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Jan 2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | — | | [ZYNO by Elite Mindz - Founder Profile \| IndieHunt](https://indiehunt.io/founder/by-lite-indz?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Jan 2024 | 19 | 0 | 0 | — | | [Streamline Small Team Operations with Aissist.io's AI \| IndieHunt](https://indiehunt.io/launches/project-aissist-io?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Aug 2026 | 986 | 2 | 2 | — | | [Streamline Workflows with OpenClaw's 3200+ AI Skills \| IndieHunt](https://indiehunt.io/launches/project-openclaw-launch?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Apr 2026 | 865 | 2 | 0 | — | | [IndieHunt vs Aura++: Launch Platform Comparison (2026)](https://indiehunt.io/alternatives/aura-plus-plus?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Jan 2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | — | 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%.

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.
