How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts one new followed link from tripadvisor.com at $180 (level C), priced on a blend of link types (B 13% · C 77% · D 9%): $90 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $225 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $1,193 before relevance. A quote far above $149 for a level C link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 85 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level C — usually neutralised (a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link). The spam score of its links is 11 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not tripadvisor.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 83.9M monthly visits, 59% from organic search (49.7M). Visits fell 19% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “tripadvisor”, about 332.9K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

Is a link from tripadvisor.com worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from tripadvisor.com is worth $1,193 as an editorial citation (level A), $596 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $119 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $60 as a network link (level D), before relevance.

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.

Has tripadvisor.com been audited?

No link placed on tripadvisor.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: tripadvisor.com's report is valued, not audited.

How tripadvisor.com links out: the full reading

10 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 3 November 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (10 linked from its homepage). 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.

Thin sample 0 links to other sites across 10 articles published Oct 2026 – Nov 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

No links to other sites in the articles read.

  • Advertising · “Advertise with Us”

Articles read

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level A — A 46%, B 38%, C 15%, D 1.0%. Put together with what kind of site it is, how established it is, whether it sells placements and how it links out, a new link here is priced as A 0.4%, B 13%, C 77%, D 9.2%.

Jev reads it as a platform where users post (71%), thin or made for links as a source (44%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (57%).

Searches, CPC and ad value: Google Ads, worldwide, its latest month, where it has the keyword; † third-party traffic estimates where it does not (the two often differ several times over). Ad value: what a month of the keyword's searches would cost as search ads (searches × cost per click) — what advertisers pay for it, not how hard it is to rank for. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on this site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money. Each keyword opens the list of sites where it is a top search keyword.

Read from tripadvisor.com/robots.txt on 3 November 2026. robots.txt is a request that crawlers choose to follow; a site can also refuse crawlers at its server, which this card does not see. Google's AI Overviews use Googlebot, so Google-Extended does not affect them.

Server and network

0 other publications on the server · 476 on the network

Its domain was registered in 1999.

mxverify looked up tripadvisor.com's address: no other publication in the directory runs on 13.227.173.30. 476 publications are on the same hosting network (Amazon AWS, AS16509) — a cloud platform hosting millions of unrelated sites, so that is no sign of a connection.

Amazon AWS 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

3 stated plainly
  • No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
  • tripadvisor.com gives more than one kind of link (B 13% · C 77% · D 9%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $1,193 and a guest or sponsored one $596, before relevance.
  • tripadvisor.com's visits fell 19% 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.
