How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts one new followed link from programminginsider.com at $53 (level D), priced on a blend of link types (B 22% · C 15% · D 62%), for a linked site outside the gambling niche: $26 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $66 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $331 before relevance. A quote far above $66 for the link it usually gives, to a site outside the gambling niche, pays for what BV does not measure. A link from it to a site in the gambling niche is not capped: about $71, or $89 on the same topic. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 55 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level D — network (a network link). BV applies the high-risk niche cap: it is 38% likely a gambling site, and a link from such a site to an unrelated one is discounted. In the 9 articles we read, 0% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc. The spam score of its links is 22 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not programminginsider.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 45.7K monthly visits, 13% from organic search (5,912). Visits fell 65% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “ytmp3”, about 1,190 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

Quick answers about programminginsider.com

9 questions answered

What is a link from programminginsider.com worth?

BV, mxverify's backlink value, is an estimate of what one new followed link from a site is worth to rankings: by BV 2.9, a new followed link from programminginsider.com is worth about $53 (level D, for a linked site outside its high-risk niche). Relevance moves it: $26 to an unrelated site, $66 to a same-topic site.

In short: a link from programminginsider.com is worth about $53 to rankings, up to $66 on the same topic.

Source: mxverify BV 2.9 methodology

Is a link from programminginsider.com worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from programminginsider.com is worth $331 as an editorial citation (level A), $165 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $33 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $17 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $66 for a level D link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers.

Source: mxverify BV 2.9 methodology

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

At about $53 a link, programminginsider.com is in the “$50 to $99” value band, with 401 of the 4,471 sites valued on mxverify. 589 sites are in a higher band.

In short: 589 of the 4,471 valued sites sit in a higher value band than programminginsider.com.

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

How much traffic does programminginsider.com get?

programminginsider.com gets about 45.7K visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 13% of them (5,912) come from organic search. Visits fell 65% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

In short: programminginsider.com draws about 45.7K visits a month, down 65% since Jul 2026.

Source: third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026

Does programminginsider.com pass Core Web Vitals?

No: real Chrome users see programminginsider.com's largest content load in 3.4 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: programminginsider.com does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

Source: Chrome UX Report, 28 days to 3 Nov 2026; web.dev: Web Vitals

How old is programminginsider.com?

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

Has programminginsider.com been audited?

No link placed on programminginsider.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: programminginsider.com's report is valued, not audited.

Read by Jev from our own reading of programminginsider.com's homepage and 9 articles. No link placed here has been audited yet. It is 38% likely a gambling site, going by our reading of the site. BV 2.9 values a link from it for a buyer outside gambling: search engines discount a link from such a site to an unrelated one, so it is at most level C with that probability, as in an audit. A buyer in gambling is not capped: about $71 a link.

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level A — A 83%, B 8.0%, C 3.0%, D 6.0%. Put together with what kind of site it is, how established it is, whether it sells placements and how it links out, a new link here is priced as A 0.1%, B 22%, C 15%, D 62%.

Jev reads it as a link network (60%), small or niche as a source (56%), and selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (64%).

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

AI assistants sent about 315 visits in Sept 2026 — 0.7% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

Read from programminginsider.com/robots.txt on 7 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.

Server and network

a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

Its domain was registered in 2015.

mxverify looked up programminginsider.com'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. The count is shown; the sites are not listed.

Limitations: what this report does not show

4 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.
  • programminginsider.com gives more than one kind of link (B 22% · C 15% · D 62%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $331 and a guest or sponsored one $165, before relevance.
  • programminginsider.com's visits fell 65% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Half of Site Strength is organic search traffic, so a fall that lasts lowers BV when the figure is next read.
