A price far above $256 for a level B 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 mindgames.com's BV compare with other sites? At about $205 a link, mindgames.com is in the “$100 to $249” value band, with 376 of the 4,485 sites valued on mxverify. 222 sites are in a higher band.

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.
