How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from nme.com at $597 (level A), priced on a blend of link types (A 54% · B 45% · C 1%): $298 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $746 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 $973 for a level A 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 A — counted (an editorial citation). In the 10 articles we read, 0% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc. The spam score of its links is 19 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not nme.com's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 5.8M monthly visits, 50% from organic search (2.9M). Visits fell 2.8% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “wordle”, about 132K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

mxverify looked up nme.com's address: no other publication in the directory runs on 65.9.168.5. 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
- No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
- nme.com gives more than one kind of link (A 54% · B 45% · C 1%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $778 and a guest or sponsored one $389, before relevance.
