How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts one new followed link from pitchbook.com at $443 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 15% · B 84% · C 1%): $221 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $553 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. · Backlink value · what this means
  • 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 16 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not pitchbook.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 2.4M monthly visits, 45% from organic search (1.1M). Visits fell 1.3% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “pitchbook”, about 40K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

Quick answers about pitchbook.com

8 questions answered

Relevance moves it: $221 to an unrelated site, $553 to a same-topic site. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a price anyone charges.

Source: mxverify BV 2.8 methodology

Is a link from pitchbook.com worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.8, a link from pitchbook.com is worth $778 as an editorial citation (level A), $389 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $78 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $39 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $486 for a level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a verdict on the site or a price anyone charges.

Source: mxverify BV 2.8 methodology

How does pitchbook.com's BV compare with other sites?

At about $443 a link, pitchbook.com is in the “$250 to $499” value band, with 118 of the 3,466 sites valued on mxverify. 25 sites are in a higher band. The counts are mxverify's own, taken from its directory at the last daily update.

In short: 25 of the 3,466 valued sites sit in a higher value band than pitchbook.com.

Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update

How much traffic does pitchbook.com get?

pitchbook.com gets about 2.4M visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 45% of them (1.1M) come from organic search. Visits fell 1.3% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

In short: pitchbook.com draws about 2.4M visits a month, down 1.3% since Jul 2026.

Source: third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026

Does pitchbook.com pass Core Web Vitals?

No: real Chrome users see pitchbook.com's largest content load in 1.8 s (LCP), and at least one vital reported for it is not at Google's good level. 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.

In short: pitchbook.com does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

Source: Chrome UX Report, 28 days to 19 Oct 2026; web.dev: Web Vitals

How old is pitchbook.com?

The domain pitchbook.com was registered in 2004, 22 years ago. Domain age is a fact from the registry record, not a measure of a site's quality.

Source: the public registration record; RFC 9083: RDAP JSON responses

Has pitchbook.com been audited?

No link placed on pitchbook.com has been audited yet, so this report shows no rates for how its links behave. Its backlink value comes from site-level figures (its authority rating, traffic and our reading of its articles), not from audited placements.

In short: pitchbook.com's report is valued, not audited.

How BV is worked out

Site Strength 75 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from pitchbook.com would be worth up to $778 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 75 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $443 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $221 and $553.

Server and network

a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

pitchbook.com is served through Cloudflare (CDN), a content delivery network. Its address is shared edge infrastructure used by unrelated sites, so it cannot show who else runs on the same server, and sharing the network is no sign of a connection.

Cloudflare (CDN) fronts 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

6 stated plainly
  • No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
  • A CDN address is shared by unrelated sites, so it says nothing about ownership; no neighbours are listed for it.
  • A link that is followed is not necessarily a link search engines value; this record does not measure rankings or traffic.
  • The BV score is what one new followed link from pitchbook.com is worth to rankings, from its Site Strength and the kind of link on offer. It is not a price, and it does not predict what a link will do for a particular site: relevance to that site moves it between half and one and a quarter times.
  • Traffic figures come from a third-party traffic source, named with its date in the evidence box above; no one outside a site sees its analytics.
  • pitchbook.com gives more than one kind of link (A 15% · B 84% · 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.
