How to use this report

4 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts one new followed link from resident.com at $301 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 21% · B 77% · C 3%): $150 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $376 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. · Backlink value · what this means
  • 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, 2% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc. The spam score of its links is 25 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not resident.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 281.9K monthly visits, 56% from organic search (157K). Visits fell 0.7% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “resident magazine”, about 900 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means
  • AI assistant visits. 2.7% of its visits in Sept 2026 came from AI assistants' answers, about 7,612 (visits, not citations); ChatGPT sent the most in Sept 2026, 79% of them. The split moved a lot between months (ChatGPT from 1.2% in Aug 2026 to 79% in Sept 2026): read it as a snapshot, not a trend. · AI assistants · what this means

Is a link from resident.com worth placing?

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.

Has resident.com been audited?

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

How resident.com links out: the full reading

10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 27 October 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (9 from across its sitemap, 1 linked from its homepage). 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.

Strong sample 59 links to other sites across 10 articles published Apr 2009 – 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
  • Followed98%
  • Nofollow0%
  • Sponsored1.7%
  • User-generated (ugc)0%

59 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 1.7% of a new link's weight at most C, because that share of the site's own links is nofollow, sponsored or ugc.

What its homepage offers

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

Articles read

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level A — A 90%, B 9.0%, C 1.0%, 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 21%, B 77%, C 2.7%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a publication (100%), small or niche as a source (53%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (69%).

Read from resident.com/robots.txt on 28 October 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 1995.

mxverify looked up resident.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

3 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.
  • resident.com gives more than one kind of link (A 21% · B 77% · C 3%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $507 and a guest or sponsored one $254, before relevance.
