mxverify: What a Backlink Is Actually Worth

mxverify is a free backlink value checker that answers a very practical question for anyone buying or building links: what is one followed link from this site actually worth, in dollars?

Enter any domain and mxverify returns a BV score — the ranking benefit of one new followed editorial link — plus a public report covering link type, organic traffic, hosting server, domain age, and the source of every figure. No sign-up required.

The model, BV 2.5, multiplies three factors:

• Site Strength (0–100) — half link-authority rating, half organic search traffic on a log scale. It sets the dollar ceiling, roughly halving every 16 points below 100.
• Link type — editorial (×1), guest or sponsored (×0.5), neutralised/nofollow (×0.1), one-owner network (×0.05).
• Relevance — ×0.5 unrelated up to ×1.25 same topic.

The score is backed by bklink's audit data: 5,564 links audited across 2,815 publications and 17,441 checks, tracking whether links stayed followed, were switched to nofollow, removed, or sat on dead pages. mxverify also detects link networks across 21 shared servers and publishes top lists comparing how publications' links behave.

Best for SEOs, link builders and founders sanity-checking outreach quotes. Free, no affiliate links — no site pays to be listed or valued.
