Every figure below is a DataForSEO estimate for forbes.com, shown to explain the platform’s strength. Figures last updated June 2026. None of it is a guarantee of placement.
A press release on Forbes is not a routine wire drop. It is placement on a global business authority online since 1993, more than thirty years of domain history, which DataForSEO scores at 649 out of 1000 for authority. That standing is why a genuine Forbes mention carries weight that a generic outlet cannot match.
The backlink profile shows the scale. DataForSEO records roughly 40.75 million backlinks pointing at forbes.com from about 1.22 million referring domains, and close to 92 percent of them are dofollow. A contextual mention of your brand on a domain with that link equity passes serious trust to your own site.
Reach is global, and it is also strong in India. Forbes ranks for an estimated 8.88 million keywords worldwide drawing around 165 million est. monthly organic visits, and within India alone it ranks for 124,592 keywords with about 9.5 million est. monthly organic visits (all DataForSEO estimates). For an Indian founder who wants global business credibility, that combination is rare.
There is also the visibility proxy. Across the web, Forbes is referenced in roughly 510,000 pieces of content. When an investor, partner, or customer searches your name and finds you associated with a source like this, the third-party validation does work an ad never will.
We will be straight with you about how Forbes works. Editorial features are hard to land, and some routes run through Forbes contributor or council programs rather than staff editorial. We pursue only legitimate paths, we never fake a byline, and we never promise guaranteed placement, because final approval always rests with Forbes.
