Site reports

What each part of an mxverify site report shows, and what it cannot tell you.

Every valued site has a public report at https://mxverify.uk/publications/<domain>. Every report shows the same parts in the same order; its first fold, "How to use this report", applies the guide to that site's own figures.

PartWhat it shows
BV scoreWhat one new followed link from the site is worth, the level it is priced at, any caps, and the relevance range.
How its links behavedFor audited sites: links placed on the site and checked by bklink audits — still there or removed, followed or nofollow. The only measured figures about placed links.
How it links outFrom a reading of the homepage and up to ten articles: the share of outbound links marked nofollow, sponsored or ugc. Graded strong, fair or thin.
Links to the siteCounts from a third-party backlink index: linking websites, links, nofollow share, linking IP addresses, and the index's spam score of the linking pages. None of these moves BV.
Traffic estimateModelled monthly traffic from a third-party source, and the top search keywords. An estimate to compare, not a measurement. BV uses only organic search traffic.
AI assistant visitsVisits from people who clicked through from an AI assistant's answer. Not a count of citations.
Server and networkThe address the site serves from and the publications sharing it; network verdicts where footprints of one owner agree.
Page speedReal-user Chrome data over 28 days (Chrome UX Report): LCP, INP, CLS and the Core Web Vitals verdict.
Domain and hostingRegistration date, expiry and status from the public registration record; the content category.
Similar sitesUp to six sites on the same subject, never ones on the same server or owned alike. Not a recommendation.

Using a report to judge a placement

  • Price check. Take the figure for the level of link on offer and how close the site is to yours. A quote far above the same-topic figure pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's readers or the vendor's margin.
  • Ask for the level. An editorial link is level A; a sponsored or guest post is level B at best; any nofollow link is level C.
  • Qualify the site. Read the level, caps, audited shares, the reading's nofollow share, the server and the spam score together. None of them alone is a verdict.
  • Check the link once it is placed with a bklink audit. Its results join the site's report.

Limitations

  • BV is a model, not a price, and does not predict what one link will do for one site.
  • Traffic, links to the site and AI visits are third-party estimates and can be far off for a small site.
  • A reading is a sample of a site, not every page.
  • A report is evidence to weigh, not an endorsement of the site or a check of who runs it.
