The figures under [How its links behaved](https://mxverify.uk/publications/marketwatch.com#links) come from those checks, not from estimates, and each new audit adds to them. The tick marks audited links. It is not an endorsement of marketwatch.com, or a check of who runs it. [Have links placed on a site?

Latest audit 02 October 2026. Each link counts once, at its most recent audit. This report's link to marketwatch.com is nofollow. It is followed only when the site's owner audits marketwatch.com's own backlinks on bklink.uk, chooses to publish it and proves the site is theirs — for 90 days from each audit.

How BV is worked out Site Strength 85 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type A followed editorial link from marketwatch.com would be worth up to $1,193 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 85 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $596 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $298 and $746. - **Site Strength**: **85** / 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: 82.6M estimated monthly organic visits, as of 2 October 2026. - **Worth up to**: $1,193 · a followed editorial link at this strength, before relevance (×0.5 unrelated to ×1.25 same topic) — see [how it is calculated](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value#how) - **Usual link type**: Level B — may be discounted → ×0.5 This site has not been read yet and none of the links audited here has a link type on record, so the default for a link inside an article applies. Checking the site reads it. The table below shows the other levels. - **Relevance to your site**: ×1 · neutral here; in an audit it runs from ×0.5 (unrelated) to ×1.25 (same topic) - **BV score**: **$596** per link - **Domain registered**: 31 July 1997 · shown for context; BV does not price on age, but a domain registered in the last 30 days is never priced as not in Google ### A link from marketwatch.com, 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. | Level | What it is | Factor | Value | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | A — Counted | An editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers. | ×1 | $1,193 | | B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $596 | | C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $119 | | D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $60 | Server and network 0 other publications on the server · 469 on the network No other publication in the directory runs on 99.86.18.128. 469 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.

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.
