Relevance moves it: $113 to an unrelated site, $282 to a same-topic site. In short: a link from itch.io is worth about $225 to rankings, up to $282 on the same topic. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### Is a link from itch.io worth placing? That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from itch.io is worth $1,193 as an editorial citation (level A), $596 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $119 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $60 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $149 for a level C link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### How does itch.io's BV compare with other sites? At about $225 a link, itch.io is in the “$100 to $249” value band, with 288 of the 3,911 sites valued on mxverify. 176 sites are in a higher band.

Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update ### How much traffic does itch.io get? itch.io gets about 60.6M visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 40% of them (24M) come from organic search. Visits fell 3.3% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. In short: itch.io draws about 60.6M visits a month, down 3.3% since Jul 2026. Source: [third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/itch.io#evidence) ### Does itch.io pass Core Web Vitals? Yes: real Chrome users see itch.io's largest content load in 1.0 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: itch.io passes Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

In the 9 articles we read, itch.io made 91 links to other sites, and 15% of them were nofollow, sponsored or ugc; the other 85% were followed.

Its backlink value comes from site-level figures (its authority rating, traffic and our reading of its articles), not from audited placements. In short: itch.io's report is valued, not audited.

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 91 links to other sites across 9 articles published Sept 2014 – Dec 2017. 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 85% - Nofollow 15% - Sponsored 0% - User-generated (ugc) 0% 91 links to other sites across 9 articles, share buttons left out.

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites Its domain was registered in 2011. mxverify looked up itch.io's address: it 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.
