How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from sudoku.com at $332 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 25% · B 52% · C 20% · D 4%): $166 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $415 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $628 before relevance. A quote far above $393 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 70 / 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, 0% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 41.7M monthly visits, 30% from organic search (12.4M). Visits fell 1.4% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

How much traffic does sudoku.com get?
sudoku.com gets about 41.7M visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 30% of them (12.4M) come from organic search. Visits fell 1.4% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 2000.
mxverify looked up sudoku.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.
- sudoku.com gives more than one kind of link (A 25% · B 52% · C 20% · D 4%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $628 and a guest or sponsored one $314, before relevance.
