How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from pocketgamer.biz at $255 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 1% · B 98% · C 1%): $127 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $319 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $507 before relevance. A quote far above $317 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 65 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). 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 14 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not pocketgamer.biz's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Oct 2026 estimate: 235.1K monthly visits, 41% from organic search (96.7K). Visits fell 21% from Aug 2026 to Oct 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “cut the rope”, about 1,080 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.
- AI assistant visits. 3.0% of its visits in Oct 2026 came from AI assistants' answers, about 7,006 (visits, not citations); Claude sent the most in Oct 2026, 9.7% of them. The split moved a lot between months (ChatGPT from 91% in Sept 2026 to 1.6% in Oct 2026): read it as a snapshot, not a trend.

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 2005.
mxverify looked up pocketgamer.biz's address: it 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.

Limitations: what this report does not show
- 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.
- pocketgamer.biz gives more than one kind of link (A 1% · B 98% · C 1%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $507 and a guest or sponsored one $254, before relevance.
- pocketgamer.biz's visits fell 21% from Aug 2026 to Oct 2026. Half of Site Strength is organic search traffic, so a fall that lasts lowers BV when the figure is next read.
