01How the analysis works
The tool compares the asking price with the signals actually observed: estimated SEO visibility, detected keywords, link profile, topical relevance and link characteristics. Every missing signal family lowers confidence and increases uncertainty; a precise monetary estimate is shown only when coverage is sufficient.

06Frequently asked questions
How is backlink value calculated?
A range is built from organic visibility, referring domains, optional page strength and declared relevance. Missing signal families lower confidence; the result is decision support, not an official market price.
Is an expensive backlink necessarily better?
No. A high price may reflect a publisher’s brand even when SEO signals alone do not support that price.
What is the difference between price and SEO value?
Price is what the seller asks. SEO value estimates what the observed signals can reasonably support.
Can I assess a link I already bought?
Yes. Use the analysis to document a past purchase and compare it with future opportunities.
Does traffic affect value?
Yes, alongside popularity, keyword footprint and relevance. No signal is used alone.
Why does Valinko sometimes show “insufficient data”?
An external source did not cover that metric sufficiently or returned no usable value. It never means that traffic, keywords or links are actually zero.
Should I automatically reject an overpriced link?
No. You can negotiate, inspect editorial quality or accept a premium for a strategic audience. The verdict reflects the SEO evidence.
