Relevance moves it: $48 to an unrelated site, $120 to a same-topic site. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a price anyone charges.

Source: [mxverify BV 2.8 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology)

### Is a link from proofstories.io worth placing?

A price far above $135 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](https://mxverify.uk/methodology)

### How does proofstories.io's BV compare with other sites?

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

### How much traffic does proofstories.io get?

proofstories.io gets about 10.5K visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 32% of them (3,369) come from organic search. Visits fell 14% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

In short: proofstories.io draws about 10.5K visits a month, down 14% 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.

In short: proofstories.io passes Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

### Has proofstories.io been audited?

No link placed on proofstories.io 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: proofstories.io's report is valued, not audited.

How BV is worked out Site Strength 45 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from proofstories.io would be worth up to $216 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 45 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $96 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $48 and $120.

- **Site Strength**: **45** / 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: 3,369 estimated monthly organic visits, as of 23 October 2026.
- **Worth up to**: $216 · 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**: Mostly level B — may be discounted · B 86%, C 11%, D 3% → ×0.44 (each level's factor below, weighted by those shares) Read by Jev from our own reading of proofstories.io's homepage and 10 articles. No link placed here has been audited yet.
- **Relevance to your site**: ×1 · neutral here; in an audit it runs from ×0.5 (unrelated) to ×1.25 (same topic)
- **BV score**: **$96** per link
- **Domain registered**: 17 July 2025 · shown for context; BV does not price on age, but a domain registered in the last 30 days is never priced as not in Google

### A link from proofstories.io, 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 | $216 |
| B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $108 |
| C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $22 |
| D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $11 |

How proofstories.io links out: the full reading 10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 23 October 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (10 from across its sitemap). This is our own reading of the site, not a vendor's figure, and it is what places a new link on the A–D scale until links placed here are audited.

**Links its articles make to other sites**

No links to other sites in the articles read.

**What its homepage offers**

No guest-post, sponsored-post or advertising pages linked from the homepage.

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level **B** — A 6.0%, B 83%, C 11%, D 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 0.0%, B 86%, C 11%, D 3.0%.

Jev reads it as a directory or launch platform (95%), small or niche as a source (57%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (97%).

Traffic in detail engagement, top keywords, AI assistants

Modelled estimates for Sept 2026, as of 23 October 2026: site-wide, all visitors, not analytics measured on the site itself.

- **#2,108,128** global rank
- **#1,485,241** rank in US
- **40%** bounce rate
- **1.7** pages per visit
- **6s** time on site

**Every channel**

- Organic search 32%
- Direct 40%
- Referrals 10%
- Social 5.6%
- AI assistants 1.6%
- Email 3.0%
- Paid 5.5%
- Affiliate and other 2.0%

Share of all visits. Organic search is highlighted: it is the traffic BV prices on.

**Top search keywords**

| Keyword | Searches / mo | CPC | Ad value / mo | Visits (est.) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [stumbleable](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/stumbleable) | 0 | $0.00 | $0 | 70 |
| [a1111 sdxl illustrious.](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/a1111-sdxl-illustrious) | 650 | $0.00 | $0 | 20 |
| [discord id lookup](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/discord-id-lookup) | 15.7K | $0.18 | $2,819 | 10 |
| [reddinbox](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/reddinbox) | 600 | $0.00 | $0 | 10 |
| [bundle.social whan was it formed](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/bundle-social-whan-was-it-formed) | 20 | $0.00 | $0 | 10 |

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 **168** visits in Sept 2026 — 1.6% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

ChatGPT

ChatGPT: Sept 2026 100%

| Assistant | Sept 2026 |
| --- | --- |
| ChatGPT | 100% |

Jul 2026 and Aug 2026: no data — every assistant reads 0, so those months are not charted.

At this volume the shares swing hard month to month: a handful of visits can move an assistant from 0% to 100%.

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

Server and network 4 other publications on the server · 473 on the network

4 other publications in the directory run on 216.198.79.1, which is common on shared hosting and not by itself evidence of common ownership. 473 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.

### Other publications on 216.198.79.1

At this size that is ordinary shared hosting, listed for completeness, not as a finding.

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 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 proofstories.io 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.
- proofstories.io gives more than one kind of link (B 86% · C 11% · D 3%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $216 and a guest or sponsored one $108, before relevance.
- proofstories.io's visits fell 14% 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.
