How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from yo.directory at $135 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (B 77% · C 21% · D 2%): $68 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $169 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $331 before relevance. A quote far above $207 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 55 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). The spam score of its links is 3 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not yo.directory's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 15.2K monthly visits, 32% from organic search (4,922). Visits fell 12% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “theresanaiforthat”, about 270 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Its domain was registered in 2024.
mxverify looked up yo.directory's address: no other publication in the directory runs on 216.150.16.193. 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
- No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
- yo.directory gives more than one kind of link (B 77% · C 21% · D 2%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $331 and a guest or sponsored one $165, before relevance.
- yo.directory's visits fell 12% 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.
