How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts one new followed link from sourceforge.net at $353 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (B 66% · C 34%): $176 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $441 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $963 before relevance. A quote far above $602 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 80 / 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, 13% 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 sourceforge.net's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 21.8M monthly visits, 35% from organic search (7.5M). Visits fell 7.2% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “auto clicker”, about 314.4K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

How BV is worked out

Site Strength 80 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from sourceforge.net would be worth up to $963 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 80 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $353 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $176 and $441.

Site Strength
80 / 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: 7.5M estimated monthly organic visits, as of 16 October 2026.

How sourceforge.net links out: the full reading

10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 16 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.

Thin sample 8 links to other sites across 10 articles published Mar 2013 – Aug 2025. 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
  • Followed88%
  • Nofollow13%
  • Sponsored0%
  • User-generated (ugc)0%

8 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 13% 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
  • Advertising · “Advertising”, “Advertise”

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 63%, B 23%, C 14%, 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 0.3%, B 66%, C 34%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a directory or launch platform (86%), established as a source (46%), and selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (62%).

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 304.6K visits in Sept 2026 — 1.4% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

Server and network

a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

sourceforge.net 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

5 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.
  • 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 sourceforge.net 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.
