Backlink value and traffic report for startup.inc

• Price check. BV puts one new followed link from startup.inc at $46 (level B): $23 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $57 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $92 before relevance. A quote far above $57 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means

A link from startup.inc, by link type

The same site is worth very different amounts depending on the link it gives you. This is what each level is worth here.

No other publication in the directory runs on 64.227.100.79. 2 publications are on the same hosting network (DigitalOcean, AS14061) — a cloud platform hosting millions of unrelated sites, so that is no sign of a connection.

DigitalOcean is a cloud platform hosting millions of unrelated sites, so sharing it says nothing about who runs a site. The count is shown; the sites are not listed.

• No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
• 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 startup.inc 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.
