## Links placed here

No link placed on smartbusinessdirectory.co.uk has been audited yet. [An audit on bklink.uk](https://bklink.uk/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) checks each one — still there, followed or not, where it sits — and marks this report audited.

This report's link to smartbusinessdirectory.co.uk is nofollow. It is followed when the site's owner audits smartbusinessdirectory.co.uk's own backlinks on bklink.uk, chooses to publish it and proves the site is theirs (for 90 days from each audit), or once a one-time payment of $9 is made for it.

- **Price check.** BV puts one new followed link from smartbusinessdirectory.co.uk at $55 (level C), priced on a blend of link types (B 39% · C 60% · D 1%): $28 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $69 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $216 before relevance.

- **Qualification and risk.** Its Site Strength is 45 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level C — usually neutralised (a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link).

Content signals in the file: search yes · AI training no.

Read from smartbusinessdirectory.co.uk/robots.txt on 1 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 2011.

mxverify looked up smartbusinessdirectory.co.uk'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.
- smartbusinessdirectory.co.uk gives more than one kind of link (B 39% · C 60% · D 1%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $216 and a guest or sponsored one $108, before relevance.
