Before placing a link here
- timesofindia.indiatimes.com gives nofollow links, which caps what a new link is worth; each report names the cap.
- 4 sites are priced at level C or D (press release, listing, profile or network links), where a link keeps a tenth or less of what an editorial link would.
- 5 of the 8 have no audited links, so how links there behave after they are placed is not measured yet.
Limitations: what this list does not show
- Only sites with a report on mxverify are listed: other sites that share this trait are not in the directory.
- Read from each site's homepage and server headers alone: code loaded only on inner pages, or only after a visitor accepts cookies, is missed.
- A followed link is not necessarily a link search engines value; this list does not measure rankings or traffic.
