How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from sportstar.thehindu.com at $932 (level A), priced on a blend of link types (A 95% · B 3% · C 2%): $466 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $1,165 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 $1,204 for a level A link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 80 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level A — counted (an editorial citation). In the 10 articles we read, 0% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc. The spam score of its links is 4 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not sportstar.thehindu.com's own.

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level A — A 100%, B 0%, C 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 95%, B 2.9%, C 2.0%, D 0%.
Server and network
Its domain was registered in 1996.
mxverify looked up sportstar.thehindu.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
- 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.
- sportstar.thehindu.com gives more than one kind of link (A 95% · B 3% · C 2%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $963 and a guest or sponsored one $482, before relevance.
