BV, mxverify's backlink value, is an estimate of what one new followed link from a site is worth to rankings: by BV 2.8, a new followed link from techradar.com is worth about $539 (level B). Relevance moves it: $269 to an unrelated site, $674 to a same-topic site. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a price anyone charges.

A price far above $602 for a level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a verdict on the site or a price anyone charges. Source: [mxverify BV 2.8 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### How does techradar.com's BV compare with other sites? At about $539 a link, techradar.com is in the “$500 or more” value band, with 23 of the 3,384 sites valued on mxverify. No site is in a higher band. The counts are mxverify's own, taken from its directory at the last daily update. In short: techradar.com is in the highest value band of the 3,384 sites valued on mxverify. Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update ### How much traffic does techradar.com get? techradar.com gets about 12.9M visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 55% of them (7.1M) come from organic search. Visits fell 17% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. In short: techradar.com draws about 12.9M visits a month, down 17% since Jul 2026. Source: [third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/techradar.com#evidence) ### Does techradar.com pass Core Web Vitals? Yes: real Chrome users see techradar.com's largest content load in 1.2 s (LCP), and every vital reported for it is 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: techradar.com passes Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

In the 10 articles we read, techradar.com made 78 links to other sites, and 27% of them were nofollow, sponsored or ugc; the other 73% were followed. BV prices a nofollow link at level C (×0.1), whatever the site is otherwise worth. In short: about 27% of techradar.com's outbound links are nofollow, so a new link placed there may be too.

The domain techradar.com was registered in 2003, 22 years ago. Domain age is a fact from the registry record, not a measure of a site's quality. Source: the public registration record; [RFC 9083: RDAP JSON responses](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9083/) ### Has techradar.com been audited? No link placed on techradar.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: techradar.com's report is valued, not audited. How BV is worked out Site Strength 80 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type A followed editorial link from techradar.com would be worth up to $963 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 80 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $539 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $269 and $674. - **Site Strength**: **80** / 100, in steps of 5 · half the site's authority rating, half its organic traffic on a log scale; 100 is the strongest site on the web. Traffic: 7.1M estimated monthly organic visits, as of 21 October 2026. - **Worth up to**: $963 · a followed editorial link at this strength, before relevance (×0.5 unrelated to ×1.25 same topic) — see [how it is calculated](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value#how) - **Usual link type**: Mostly level B — may be discounted · A 34%, B 38%, C 28% → ×0.56 (each level's factor below, weighted by those shares) Read by Jev from our own reading of techradar.com's homepage and 10 articles; 27% of the links those articles make to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc, and BV caps that share of a new link at C. No link placed here has been audited yet. - **Relevance to your site**: ×1 · neutral here; in an audit it runs from ×0.5 (unrelated) to ×1.25 (same topic) - **BV score**: **$539** per link - **Domain registered**: 6 December 2003 · shown for context; BV does not price on age, but a domain registered in the last 30 days is never priced as not in Google ### A link from techradar.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 | How techradar.com links out: the full reading 10 articles read · each link counted Read by mxverify on 21 October 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (4 from its feed, 6 from across its sitemap). This is our own reading of the site, not a vendor's figure, and it is what places a new link on the A–D scale until links placed here are audited. Strong sample 78 links to other sites across 10 articles published Dec 2015 – Oct 2026. Strong takes six or more articles and thirty or more links, spread over at least two months where the articles are dated. **Links its articles make to other sites** - Followed 73% - Nofollow 2.6% - Sponsored 24% - User-generated (ugc) 0% 78 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 27% of a new link's weight at most C, because that share of the site's own links is nofollow, sponsored or ugc. **What its homepage offers** No guest-post, sponsored-post or advertising pages linked from the homepage. ### Articles read | Article | Published | Words | Links out | Followed | Says | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [ExpressVPN ou NordVPN : lequel choisir en 2026 ?

BV uses only the organic-search figure. Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites techradar.com is served through Fastly (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.

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. - techradar.com gives more than one kind of link (A 34% · B 38% · C 28%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $963 and a guest or sponsored one $482, before relevance. - techradar.com's visits fell 17% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Half of Site Strength is organic search traffic, so a fall that lasts lowers BV when the figure is next read.
