## Links placed here

No link placed on smolbest.com 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 smolbest.com is nofollow. It is followed when the site's owner audits smolbest.com'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. [When a link here is followed](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#followed-links)

## How it links out

smolbest.com did not let our reader in on 30 Oct 2026, so its link type is set by fixed rules until a later reading succeeds.

How to use this report 2 ways to use these figures

- **Price check.** BV puts one new followed link from smolbest.com at $33 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (B 87% · C 13%), for a linked site outside the piracy niche: $17 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $42 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $74 before relevance. A quote far above $42 for the link it usually gives, to a site outside the piracy niche, pays for what BV does not measure. A link from it to a site in the piracy niche is not capped: about $37, or $46 on the same topic. · [Backlink value](https://mxverify.uk/publications/smolbest.com#value) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#use)
- **Qualification and risk.** Its Site Strength is 20 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). BV applies the high-risk niche cap: it is 13% likely a piracy site, and a link from such a site to an unrelated one is discounted. 12 other publications in the directory run on its server (152.53.152.253); the footprints read there do not show one owner. The spam score of its links is 9 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not smolbest.com's own. · [How BV is worked out](https://mxverify.uk/publications/smolbest.com#bv-detail) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#levels)

Quick answers about smolbest.com 6 questions answered

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 smolbest.com is worth about $33 (level B, for a linked site outside its high-risk niche). Relevance moves it: $17 to an unrelated site, $42 to a same-topic site.

In short: a link from smolbest.com is worth about $33 to rankings, up to $42 on the same topic.

### Is a link from smolbest.com worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from smolbest.com is worth $74 as an editorial citation (level A), $37 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $7.41 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $3.71 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $42 for a level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers.

How BV is worked out Site Strength 20 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from smolbest.com would be worth up to $74 under BV 2.9, before relevance: its Site Strength is 20 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $33 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $17 and $42.

- **Site Strength**: **20** / 100 ([how Site Strength is worked out](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#reading-a-report)). Traffic: 9 estimated monthly organic visits, as of 31 October 2026.
- **Worth up to**: $74 · before relevance — [how it is calculated](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value#how)
- **Usual link type**: Mostly level B — may be discounted · B 87%, C 13% → ×0.45 (each level's factor below, weighted by those shares) We could not read this site's pages — it blocked our reader or did not answer — and no link placed here has been audited, so the default for a link inside an article applies. The table below shows the other levels. It is 13% likely a piracy site, going by what traffic data reports about it: its title, description and top searches. BV 2.9 values a link from it for a buyer outside piracy: 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 piracy is not capped: about $37 a link.
- **Relevance to your site**: ×1 · neutral here ([range in an audit](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#reading-a-report))
- **BV score**: **$33** per link
- **Domain registered**: 9 June 2026 · shown for context ([how age is used](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#reading-a-report))

How smolbest.com links out: the full reading the site did not let our reader in

Server and network 12 other publications on the server · 13 on the network

Its domain was registered in 2026.

12 other publications in the directory run on 152.53.152.253; the footprints read there do not show one owner. 13 publications are on the same hosting network (netcup-AS, AS197540).

### Publications on the same server

Fewer than two footprints of one owner agree beyond the address itself, and shared hosting is ordinary. It is not treated as a network.

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 shared server address is evidence of common operation, not proof: large hosts do place unrelated sites together.
- smolbest.com gives more than one kind of link (B 87% · C 13%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $74 and a guest or sponsored one $37, before relevance.
