Quick answers about sudoku.com 8 questions answered ### What is a link from sudoku.com worth? BV, mxverify's backlink value, is an estimate of what one new followed link from a site is worth to rankings: by BV 2.9, a new followed link from sudoku.com is worth about $332 (level B). Relevance moves it: $166 to an unrelated site, $415 to a same-topic site. In short: a link from sudoku.com is worth about $332 to rankings, up to $415 on the same topic. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### Is a link from sudoku.com worth placing? That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from sudoku.com is worth $628 as an editorial citation (level A), $314 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $63 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $31 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $393 for a level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### How does sudoku.com's BV compare with other sites? At about $332 a link, sudoku.com is in the “$250 to $499” value band, with 162 of the 4,378 sites valued on mxverify. 46 sites are in a higher band. In short: 46 of the 4,378 valued sites sit in a higher value band than sudoku.com. Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update ### 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. In short: sudoku.com draws about 41.7M visits a month, down 1.4% since Jul 2026. Source: [third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/sudoku.com#evidence) ### Does sudoku.com pass Core Web Vitals? No: real Chrome users see sudoku.com's largest content load in 3.6 s (LCP), and at least one vital reported for it is not at Google's good level. The figures are from the Chrome UX Report (CC BY 4.0), the 75th percentile of real visits. Core Web Vitals describe how a page feels to its visitors; BV does not use them. In short: sudoku.com does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data. Source: [Chrome UX Report, 28 days to 3 Nov 2026](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/crux); [web.dev: Web Vitals](https://web.dev/articles/vitals) ### Does sudoku.com link out with nofollow? In the 10 articles we read, sudoku.com made 66 links to other sites, and 0% of them were nofollow, sponsored or ugc; the other 100% were followed. BV prices a nofollow link at level C (×0.1), whatever the site is otherwise worth.

The domain sudoku.com was registered in 2000, 26 years ago. Source: the public registration record; [RFC 9083: RDAP JSON responses](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9083/) ### Has sudoku.com been audited? No link placed on sudoku.com has been audited yet, so this report shows no rates for how its links behave. Its backlink value comes from site-level figures (its authority rating, traffic and our reading of its articles), not from audited placements. In short: sudoku.com's report is valued, not audited.

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites 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.
