Backlink value
BV$236per link · level A · nofollow · strength 80A followed editorial link from techcrunch.com would be worth up to $963 under BV 2.2, before relevance: its Site Strength is 80 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level A (an editorial citation), but 77% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $236 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $118 and $295.

A link from techcrunch.com, 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.
| Level | What it is | Factor | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| A — Counted | An editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers. | ×1 | $963 |
| B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $482 |
| C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $96 |
| D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $48 |

Server and network
No other publication in the directory runs on 192.0.66.220. 263 publications are on the same hosting network (AUTOMATTIC, AS2635) — a cloud platform hosting millions of unrelated sites, so that is no sign of a connection.
AUTOMATTIC 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.
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 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 techcrunch.com 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.
