Quick answers about merchantcircle.com 8 questions answered

Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology)

### Is a link from merchantcircle.com worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from merchantcircle.com is worth $507 as an editorial citation (level A), $254 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $51 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $25 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $63 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 merchantcircle.com's BV compare with other sites?

At about $73 a link, merchantcircle.com is in the “$50 to $99” value band, with 365 of the 4,378 sites valued on mxverify. 547 sites are in a higher band.

In short: 547 of the 4,378 valued sites sit in a higher value band than merchantcircle.com.

Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update

### How much traffic does merchantcircle.com get?

merchantcircle.com gets about 1.3M visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 4.1% of them (51.8K) come from organic search. Visits fell 20% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

In short: merchantcircle.com draws about 1.3M visits a month, down 20% since Jul 2026.

Source: [third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/merchantcircle.com#evidence)

### Does merchantcircle.com pass Core Web Vitals?

No: real Chrome users see merchantcircle.com's largest content load in 2.4 s (LCP), and at least one vital reported for it is not 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: merchantcircle.com does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

Source: [Chrome UX Report, 28 days to 3 Nov 2026](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/crux); [web.dev: Web Vitals](https://web.dev/articles/vitals)

### Does merchantcircle.com link out with nofollow?

In the 5 articles we read, merchantcircle.com made 18 links to other sites, and 50% of them were nofollow, sponsored or ugc; the other 50% were followed. BV prices a nofollow link at level C (×0.1), whatever the site is otherwise worth.

In short: about 50% of merchantcircle.com's outbound links are nofollow, so a new link placed there may be too.

### How old is merchantcircle.com?

The domain merchantcircle.com was registered in 2004, 22 years ago.

Source: the public registration record; [RFC 9083: RDAP JSON responses](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9083/)

### Has merchantcircle.com been audited?

No link placed on merchantcircle.com has been audited yet, so this report shows no rates for how its links behave. Its backlink value comes from site-level figures (its authority rating, traffic and our reading of its articles), not from audited placements.

In short: merchantcircle.com's report is valued, not audited.

A followed editorial link from merchantcircle.com would be worth up to $507 under BV 2.9, before relevance: its Site Strength is 65 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level C, worth about $73 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $37 and $92.

How merchantcircle.com links out: the full reading 5 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 6 November 2026: the homepage and 5 articles (5 linked from its homepage). 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.

Fair sample 18 links to other sites across 5 articles. 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%

18 links to other sites across 5 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**

No guest-post, sponsored-post or advertising pages linked from the homepage.

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.

### AI assistants

AI assistants sent about **757** visits in Sept 2026 — 0.1% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

[ChatGPT](https://mxverify.uk/publications/ai/chatgpt) [Gemini](https://mxverify.uk/publications/ai/gemini)

ChatGPT: Jul 2026 100%, Aug 2026 62%, Sept 2026 75%; Gemini: Jul 2026 0.2%, Aug 2026 2.6%, Sept 2026 0.4%

| Assistant | Jul 2026 | Aug 2026 | Sept 2026 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ChatGPT | 100% | 62% | 75% |
| Gemini | 0.2% | 2.6% | 0.4% |

At this volume the shares swing hard month to month: a handful of visits can move an assistant from 0% to 100%.

Third-party traffic estimates. BV uses only the organic-search figure.

Server and network 0 other publications on the server · 476 on the network

Its domain was registered in 2004.

mxverify looked up merchantcircle.com's address: no other publication in the directory runs on 18.144.157.152. 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.
- merchantcircle.com gives more than one kind of link (B 13% · C 75% · D 13%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $507 and a guest or sponsored one $254, before relevance.
- merchantcircle.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.
