How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts one new followed link from manta.com at $292 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 4% · B 59% · C 36% · D 1%): $146 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $365 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $778 before relevance. A quote far above $486 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 75 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). The spam score of its links is 10 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not manta.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 1.2M monthly visits, 44% from organic search (544.3K). Visits fell 20% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “manta”, about 11.6K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

Is a link from manta.com worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from manta.com is worth $778 as an editorial citation (level A), $389 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $78 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $39 as a network link (level D), before relevance.

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level A — A 54%, B 10%, C 36%, 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 4.4%, B 59%, C 36%, D 1.0%.

Jev reads it as a directory or launch platform (80%), small or niche as a source (49%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (98%).

Searches, CPC and ad value: Google Ads, worldwide, its latest month, where it has the keyword; † third-party traffic estimates where it does not (the two often differ several times over). 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.

Read from manta.com/robots.txt on 6 November 2026. robots.txt is a request that crawlers choose to follow; a site can also refuse crawlers at its server, which this card does not see. Google's AI Overviews use Googlebot, so Google-Extended does not affect them.

Server and network

0 other publications on the server · 476 on the network

Its domain was registered in 2004.

mxverify looked up manta.com's address: no other publication in the directory runs on 99.86.18.122. 476 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.

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

3 stated plainly
  • No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
  • manta.com gives more than one kind of link (A 4% · B 59% · C 36% · D 1%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $778 and a guest or sponsored one $389, before relevance.
  • manta.com's visits fell 20% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Half of Site Strength is organic search traffic, so a fall that lasts lowers BV when the figure is next read.
