Profiles videogameschronicle.com names for itself, read 12 Nov 2026 · how these are read

The profiles videogameschronicle.com names for itself, in its structured data or linked from its homepage, read 12 Nov 2026. They are the accounts the site points to, not a check of who runs them. A pill opens the sites with a profile on that platform; the arrow opens the profile. Follower counts as of 13 Nov 2026. A tick: the profile's own website field names this site.

Combined followers adds each profile's count: the same person can follow on more than one platform, and YouTube rounds its figure. The donut splits it by platform, each in its brand colour. On since is the year the account began. Posts and videos are all-time totals. All read from each profile page.

How to use this report

3 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts one new followed link from videogameschronicle.com at $418 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 33% · B 67%): $209 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $523 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $628 before relevance. A quote far above $393 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 70 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). In the 10 articles we read, 0% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc. The spam score of its links is 8 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not videogameschronicle.com's own. · How BV is worked out · what this means
  • Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Oct 2026 estimate: 2M monthly visits, 40% from organic search (790K). Visits fell 7.3% from Aug 2026 to Oct 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “gta 6”, about 14.2K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · Traffic in detail · what this means

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 videogameschronicle.com/robots.txt on 12 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.

Potential display-ad revenue

$2,100–$8,300 a month (estimate) · what it rests on

$2,100–$8,300a month, estimated

  • 3.6M pageviews a month: 2M visits × 1.8 pages per visit (Oct 2026)
  • Niche: Gaming, from the topics of its articles · entertainment and news page RPM $1–$4 per 1,000 pageviews
  • 48% of visits from the US, the UK, Canada and Australia; other countries counted at 20% of the rate

An estimate from modelled traffic and niche benchmarks, not what the site earns. It does not know which ad networks the site uses, how viewable its ads are or how many a page carries. Not the keyword table's ad value, which is the whole market's search-ad spend. Worked out Nov 2026; worked out again on the 10th of each month. How it is worked out

Server and network

a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

Its domain was registered in 2019.

mxverify looked up videogameschronicle.com's address: it 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.

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.
  • A CDN address is shared by unrelated sites, so it says nothing about ownership; no neighbours are listed for it.
  • videogameschronicle.com gives more than one kind of link (A 33% · B 67%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $628 and a guest or sponsored one $314, before relevance.

What each figure means: How to read a site report. What every report shares, said once: how to read a report.
