How BV is worked out Site Strength 75 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from producthunt.com would be worth up to $778 under BV 2.5, before relevance: its Site Strength is 75 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $389 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $195 and $486.

- **Site Strength**: **75** / 100, in steps of 5 · half the site's authority rating, half its organic traffic on a log scale; 100 is the strongest site on the web. Traffic: 638.3K estimated monthly organic visits, as of 28 September 2026.
- **Worth up to**: $778 · a followed editorial link at this strength, before relevance (×0.5 unrelated to ×1.25 same topic) — see [how it is calculated](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value#how)
- **Usual link type**: Level B — may be discounted → ×0.5 We could not read this site's pages — it blocked our reader or did not answer — and no link placed here has been audited, so the default for a link inside an article applies. The table below shows the other levels.
- **Relevance to your site**: ×1 · neutral here; in an audit it runs from ×0.5 (unrelated) to ×1.25 (same topic)
- **BV score**: **$389** per link
- **Domain registered**: 4 March 2003 · shown for context; BV does not price on age

### A link from producthunt.com, by link type

The same site is worth very different amounts depending on the link it gives you. This is what each level is worth here.

| Level | What it is | Factor | Value |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A — Counted | An editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers. | ×1 | $778 |
| B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $389 |
| C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $78 |
| D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $39 |

Third-party traffic estimates. BV uses only the organic-search figure.

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

producthunt.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 5 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 producthunt.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.
