Sources: link counts and spam score from a third-party backlink index, read 19 October 2026; the chart grows by one reading a month; page count and pages from a Google site: search, 19 October 2026. BV prices on one of these only, the page count: when two site: searches at least 7 days apart both find no pages, and nothing on record shows Google indexing the site, a link from it is priced at most level C.

## Links placed here

No link placed on wpbeginner.com has been audited yet. [An audit on bklink.uk](https://bklink.uk/?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) checks each one — still there, followed or not, where it sits — and marks this report audited.

This report's link to wpbeginner.com is nofollow. It is followed only when the site's owner audits wpbeginner.com's own backlinks on bklink.uk, chooses to publish it and proves the site is theirs — for 90 days from each audit.

How to use this report 3 ways to use these figures

- **Price check.** BV puts one new followed link from wpbeginner.com at $399 (level A), priced on a blend of link types (A 55% · B 9% · C 35%): $200 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $499 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 $785 for a level A link pays for what BV does not measure. · [Backlink value](https://mxverify.uk/publications/wpbeginner.com#value) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#use)
- **Qualification and risk.** Its Site Strength is 70 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level A — counted (an editorial citation). In the 4 articles we read, 35% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc. The spam score of its links is 16 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not wpbeginner.com's own. · [How BV is worked out](https://mxverify.uk/publications/wpbeginner.com#bv-detail) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#levels)
- **Traffic reality check.** Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 271.2K monthly visits, 62% from organic search (167.9K). Visits fell 11% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “スピードテスト”, about 2,820 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's. · [Traffic in detail](https://mxverify.uk/publications/wpbeginner.com#traffic) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#traffic)

How BV is worked out Site Strength 70 / 100 · level A · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from wpbeginner.com would be worth up to $628 under BV 2.8, before relevance: its Site Strength is 70 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level A, worth about $399 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $200 and $499.

- **Site Strength**: **70** / 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: 167.9K estimated monthly organic visits, as of 19 October 2026.
- **Worth up to**: $628 · 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 A — counted · A 55%, B 9%, C 35% → ×0.64 (each level's factor below, weighted by those shares) Read by Jev from our own reading of wpbeginner.com's homepage and 4 articles; 35% 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**: **$399** per link
- **Domain registered**: 24 April 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 wpbeginner.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 | $628 |
| B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $314 |
| C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $63 |
| D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $31 |

How wpbeginner.com links out: the full reading 4 articles read · each link counted

Read by mxverify on 19 October 2026: the homepage and 4 articles (3 from its feed, 7 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.

Fair sample 98 links to other sites across 4 articles published Nov 2024 – Sept 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 65%
- Nofollow 35%
- Sponsored 0%
- User-generated (ugc) 0%

98 links to other sites across 4 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 35% 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**

No guest-post, sponsored-post or advertising pages linked from the homepage.

Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level **A** — A 98%, B 1.0%, C 1.0%, D 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 55%, B 9.3%, C 35%, D 0%.

Jev reads it as a publication (100%), established as a source (83%), and not selling guest, sponsored or paid posts (93%).

Traffic in detail engagement, top keywords, AI assistants

Modelled estimates for Sept 2026, as of 19 October 2026: site-wide, all visitors, not analytics measured on the site itself.

- **#195,653** global rank
- **#253,018** rank in US
- **52%** bounce rate
- **1.6** pages per visit
- **52s** time on site

**Every channel**

- Organic search 62%
- Direct 19%
- Referrals 12%
- Social 4.5%
- AI assistants 1.1%
- Email 1.3%
- Paid 0.0%
- Affiliate and other 0.2%

Share of all visits. Organic search is highlighted: it is the traffic BV prices on.

**Top search keywords**

| Keyword | Searches / mo | CPC | Ad value / mo | Visits (est.) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [wpbeginner](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/wpbeginner) | 3,980 | $3.78 | $15K | 6,000 |
| [スピードテスト](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%94%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89%E3%83%86%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88) | 1.4M | $1.57 | $2.2M | 2,820 |

| [wp](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/wp) | 1.5M | $0.60 | $913.2K | 1,630 |

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.

### AI assistants

AI assistants sent about **2,984** visits in Sept 2026 — 1.1% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

Third-party traffic estimates. BV uses only the organic-search figure.

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

wpbeginner.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.

Limitations: what this report does not show 5 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.
- A link that is followed is not necessarily a link search engines value; this record does not measure rankings or traffic.
- The BV score is what one new followed link from wpbeginner.com is worth to rankings, from its Site Strength and the kind of link on offer. 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.
