Quick answers about thecmo.com 8 questions answered ### What is a link from thecmo.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 2.8, a new followed link from thecmo.com is worth about $132 (level B). Relevance moves it: $66 to an unrelated site, $165 to a same-topic site. BV is an estimate of ranking value, not a price anyone charges. In short: a link from thecmo.com is worth about $132 to rankings, up to $165 on the same topic. Source: [mxverify BV 2.8 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### Is a link from thecmo.com worth placing? That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.8, a link from thecmo.com is worth $410 as an editorial citation (level A), $205 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $41 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $20 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $256 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 thecmo.com's BV compare with other sites? At about $132 a link, thecmo.com is in the “$100 to $249” value band, with 163 of the 3,369 sites valued on mxverify. 125 sites are in a higher band. The counts are mxverify's own, taken from its directory at the last daily update. In short: 125 of the 3,369 valued sites sit in a higher value band than thecmo.com. Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update ### How much traffic does thecmo.com get? thecmo.com gets about 91.6K visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 72% of them (66.2K) come from organic search. Visits rose 4.4% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. In short: thecmo.com draws about 91.6K visits a month, up 4.4% since Jul 2026. Source: [third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/thecmo.com#evidence) ### Does thecmo.com pass Core Web Vitals? Yes: real Chrome users see thecmo.com's largest content load in 1.9 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: thecmo.com passes Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

In the 10 articles we read, thecmo.com made 201 links to other sites, and 32% of them were nofollow, sponsored or ugc; the other 68% were followed. BV prices a nofollow link at level C (×0.1), whatever the site is otherwise worth. In short: about 32% of thecmo.com's outbound links are nofollow, so a new link placed there may be too.

The domain thecmo.com was registered in 2009, 17 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 thecmo.com been audited? No link placed on thecmo.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: thecmo.com's report is valued, not audited. How BV is worked out Site Strength 60 / 100 · level B · each factor and link type A followed editorial link from thecmo.com would be worth up to $410 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 60 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B, worth about $132 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $66 and $165. - **Site Strength**: **60** / 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: 66.2K estimated monthly organic visits, as of 20 October 2026. - **Worth up to**: $410 · 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 · B 57%, C 29%, D 14% → ×0.32 (each level's factor below, weighted by those shares) Read by Jev from our own reading of thecmo.com's homepage and 10 articles; 32% 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**: **$132** per link - **Domain registered**: 7 May 2009 · 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 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. | Level | What it is | Factor | Value | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | A — Counted | An editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers. | ×1 | $410 | | B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $205 | | C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $41 | | D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $20 | How thecmo.com links out: the full reading 10 articles read · each link counted Read by mxverify on 20 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. Fair sample 201 links to other sites across 10 articles published in 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 68% - Nofollow 0% - Sponsored 32% - User-generated (ugc) 0% 201 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 32% 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** - **Write for us / guest posts** · “Write for Us” - **Advertising** · “/brand-communications/advertising-week-new-york-2026/”, “Advertise” Runs on WordPress. ### Articles read | Article | Published | Words | Links out | Followed | Says | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Top 10 Fractional CMOs in Phoenix To Hire in 2026](https://thecmo.com/career/fractional-cmos-phoenix/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 160 | 2 | 2 | — | | [Top 11 Fractional CMOs in the UK to Hire in 2026](https://thecmo.com/career/fractional-cmos-uk/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 167 | 2 | 2 | — | | [13 CMS Features I Look for in Every Platform](https://thecmo.com/demand-generation/cms-features/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 2,764 | 20 | 0 | — | | [Top 13 Fractional CMOs in Canada to Hire in 2026](https://thecmo.com/career/fractional-cmos-canada/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 159 | 2 | 2 | — | | [Top 10 fractional-CMO'er i Phoenix, som du kan ansætte i 2026](https://thecmo.com/da/uncategorized-da/fractional-cmoer-phoenix/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 198 | 0 | 0 | — | | [De vigtigste værktøjer, marketingledere ville beholde, hvis de startede fra bunden](https://thecmo.com/da/uncategorized-da/marketinglederes-teknologistak-fra-bunden/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 1,918 | 0 | 0 | — | | [18 bedste AI-markedsføringskurser, du kan tage i 2026](https://thecmo.com/da/uncategorized-da/bedste-ai-markedsfoeringskurser/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 2,226 | 72 | 72 | — | | [15 bedste ABM-praksisser at følge i 2026](https://thecmo.com/da/uncategorized-da/abm-bedste-praksisser/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 3,723 | 38 | 38 | — | | [De 10 bedste gratis marketingsoftware til SMV'er i 2026](https://thecmo.com/da/tools/bedste-gratis-marketingsoftware/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 5,137 | 53 | 20 | — | | [Archie fra Agorapulse: Fordele, ulemper, funktioner og priser](https://thecmo.com/da/tools/archie-fra-agorapulse-anmeldelse/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 1,992 | 12 | 0 | — | Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level **B** — A 25%, B 73%, C 2.0%, D 0%.

Third-party traffic estimates. BV uses only the organic-search figure. Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites 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.

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.
