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**: **50** / 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.

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 | $267 | | B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $134 | | C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $27 | | D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $13 | How publicapis.dev links out: the full reading 10 articles read · each link counted Read by mxverify on 26 October 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (4 from its feed, 6 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. Fair sample 21 links to other sites across 10 articles published Aug 2026 – Oct 2026. Strong takes six or more articles and thirty or more links, spread over at least two months where the articles are dated. **Links its articles make to other sites** - Followed 81% - Nofollow 0% - Sponsored 0% - User-generated (ugc) 19% 21 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out.
