- **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.

- **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.

In short: nme.com draws about 5.8M visits a month, down 2.8% since Jul 2026.

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.

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

Read from nme.com/robots.txt on 4 November 2026. robots.txt is a request that crawlers choose to follow; a site can also refuse crawlers at its server, which this card does not see. Google's AI Overviews use Googlebot, so Google-Extended does not affect them.

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 1996.

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 2 stated plainly

- 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.
