Publishing on buzmagazine.co.uk — metrics, brief and price

With 9.1k estimated visits, be honest about what you are paying for: $70 buys you a permanent link on a maintained page, not exposure.

There is a second job these placements do that is worth naming: they make a young or thin profile look normal. A domain that acquires 42-level links from a spread of ordinary publications, in drips, over months, looks like a business that has been around. A domain that acquires forty links from aggressive networks in a fortnight looks like a campaign, and it is the pattern rather than the individual link that gets noticed.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 9,100 estimated visits a month, $70 per placement, so $7.69 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 42 DA and 36 PA. Snapshot September 2026; availability and the exact link attribute are confirmed on the live URL before an invoice, which is the only part of this page that changes week to week.

General-interest publications are the workhorses of a link profile and the easiest place to overpay. The article shape that works is boringly specific: a problem, the method used, what happened, what it cost. A general title with 9.1k monthly visits survives because it answers questions well, not because it loves contributors, so a piece with nothing verifiable in it gets edited down to a bio link.

The index lists this property's editorial links as followed. Availability of a followed link changes with the site's monetisation decisions, so we confirm the tag on the live URL before counting delivery.

Two comparisons decide whether buzmagazine.co.uk at $70 is a good buy: this listing against the 1,576 other General entries we index, and against the whole 2,000-site index. The gap between those two answers is where a price is either justified or inherited from a rate card nobody revisited.

Ranked against the 2,000 listings we index, buzmagazine.co.uk sits in the top 62% for audience and the top 70% for authority, at $7.69 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 40-49 band (703 listings) that price ranks 361st for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

buzmagazine.co.uk out-ranks 62% of the index on audience size (about 1.7× the index median) and 70% on authority. The placement costs $7.69 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 40-49. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $70 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
• Do not buy this if you need the anchor to be your money keyword and the host is marked Do-follow. Attribute and anchor politics matter less than the page's survival, and a forced anchor is the easiest thing for an editor to change.
• Do not buy this if your profile has no branded searches yet and this is meant to be the single link that changes that. One 42 DA placement on a General site is a start, not a strategy.

Pitch angle: a data note built from something you have measured. That is the shape we take to a General audience, because it is the version the host's own editor has a reason to keep.

• Keep the tone flat No superlatives, no promises about outcomes, no invented before-and-after. The style that survives editorial review in General is the style that sounds like someone reporting on their own work.
• Add a heading someone would search A question-style H2 phrased the way the reader phrases it. This is what lets the article rank on its own, which is the difference between a placement that gets crawled weekly and one that gets crawled yearly.
• Write 900–1,300 words Long enough to be worth crawling and citing, short enough that a real desk will read all of it. Anything longer gets skimmed and trimmed, and trimming is where links go.

Anchor plan for this host

• no two anchors to the same target page from one article
• one brand or URL anchor in the first half, and nothing else

• Editorial activity. A site with 9.1k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 42 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• Template stability. Redesigns and CMS migrations kill placements. We check the age of the site's oldest surviving article as a proxy for how long a page there tends to live.
• Link attribute on a live example. Not the pitch, not the rate card: the rel attribute on an outbound link in a real article published this month.

1. You send the target URL and your angle The page you want the link to point at, the subject, and any author you want credited. Five minutes of input.
2. We confirm availability on buzmagazine.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 42 DA properties. Nothing is promised until the section and the placement URL are confirmed, and we tell you before you pay if the slot has gone.
3. You approve the brief and the shortlist Where the host gives a choice of section or existing article, we send options with the numbers that matter: traffic, indexation, neighbours.
4. The article is drafted and edited for the host Written for buzmagazine.co.uk's audience rather than for your keyword, then checked against the site's own style before submission.
5. The host publishes; we verify the live URL Placement live, correct target, link attribute as recorded, indexable. Only then does the order count as delivered.
6. You get the report, and the replacement cover starts PDF and CSV with the live URL, anchor, placement date and target page. Twelve-month replacement on the link itself, no ticket required.

Rates on this kind of listing drift with the host's own demand, so $70 is a current figure rather than a locked one. Volume changes the maths: a second placement on the same domain is usually refused, whereas a second placement across the General section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.

What comes with this placement
