How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from twitch.tv at $119 (level C): $60 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $149 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A quote far above $149 for a level C link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 85 / 100; it is a video platform, not a publication: the links it gives are listings, profiles or user posts (level C). The spam score of its links is 5 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not twitch.tv's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 1.1B monthly visits, 6.6% from organic search (72.4M). Visits fell 2.5% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 2009.
mxverify looked up twitch.tv's address: it 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.
Fastly (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.
