How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from mindgames.com at $205 (level B): $102 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $256 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $410 before relevance. A quote far above $256 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 60 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). The spam score of its links is 22 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not mindgames.com's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 953.1K monthly visits, 57% from organic search (539.7K). Visits fell 32% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “text twist”, about 117.5K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Limitations: what this report does not show
- No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
- mindgames.com's visits fell 32% 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.
