How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from newgrounds.com at $380 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (B 97% · C 3%): $190 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $475 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.
- 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 42 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not newgrounds.com's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 12.8M monthly visits, 35% from organic search (4.4M). Visits fell 10% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “fnf”, about 104.9K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

mxverify looked up newgrounds.com's address: no other publication in the directory runs on 51.79.82.168. 2 publications are on the same hosting network (OVH, AS16276) — a cloud platform hosting millions of unrelated sites, so that is no sign of a connection.
OVH 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
- No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
- newgrounds.com gives more than one kind of link (B 97% · C 3%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $778 and a guest or sponsored one $389, before relevance.
- newgrounds.com's visits fell 10% 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.
