What a link is worthBacklink value and traffic report for wired.business
Audited by bklink.uk
bklink.uk has checked 1 link placed on wired.business, most recently on 23 September 2026: whether each is still on the page, followed or nofollow, in the article or tucked in a footer, and whether it stayed there.
Why it matters. A site's own word says what a link should be; an audit shows what it is. The figures under How its links behaved come from those checks, not from estimates, and each new audit adds to them.
In short: A new followed link from wired.business is worth about $124 to rankings by BV 2.9 (level B, Site Strength 50 of 100); BV is an estimate, not a price anyone charges. It gets about 790 visits a month, 36% from organic search, up 12% since Jul 2026. 1 link placed on it has been audited.

How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from wired.business at $124 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 7% · B 76% · C 14% · D 3%): $62 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $156 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $267 before relevance. A quote far above $167 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 50 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). In the 4 articles we read, 16% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc. The spam score of its links is 9 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not wired.business's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 790 monthly visits, 36% from organic search (287). Visits rose 12% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “dr score”, about 10 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Server and network
We have audited 1 placed link on wired.business — too few to state rates. Its domain was registered in 2025.
mxverify looked up wired.business'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. The count is shown; the sites are not listed.

Limitations: what this report does not show
- Only 1 link has been audited here — a sample too small to describe the publication as a whole.
- A CDN address is shared by unrelated sites, so it says nothing about ownership; no neighbours are listed for it.
- wired.business gives more than one kind of link (A 7% · B 76% · C 14% · D 3%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $267 and a guest or sponsored one $134, before relevance.
