A link from thecmo.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.

thecmo.com 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.

• 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.
• 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 thecmo.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.
• thecmo.com gives more than one kind of link (B 57% · C 29% · D 14%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $410 and a guest or sponsored one $205, before relevance.
