How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts one new followed link from store.steampowered.com at $739 (level B): $369 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $923 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $1,477 before relevance. A quote far above $923 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 90 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). The spam score of its links is 14 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not store.steampowered.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 266.6M monthly visits, 39% from organic search (104.8M). Visits rose 6.2% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “wardogs”, about 1.6M a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

Searches, CPC and ad value: Google Ads, worldwide, its latest month, where it has the keyword; † third-party traffic estimates where it does not (the two often differ several times over). 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.

Read from store.steampowered.com/robots.txt on 4 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 2000.

mxverify looked up store.steampowered.com's address: it is served through Akamai (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.

Akamai (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

2 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.
