dailybusinesstime.co.uk: a contextual link, and whether it is worth $80

At 45 DA, judge the placement on the page and the neighbours, not on the score.

In this group, the placement's value usually comes from the second-order effect: a business article that survives in search gets linked by smaller sites, round-up compilers and AI answer engines that cite the pages they can find. A 45 DA publication with 20k monthly visits is a plausible source for exactly that behaviour, which is why we prefer an evergreen operational piece to a trend piece here.

Within the Business section of the index — 35 listings, 53 median DA, 4.9k median traffic, $35 median price — this placement is 129% above the median on cost and about 3.6× the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $20 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $80 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

Business titles are the most forgiving category for a contribution with a link in it, and therefore the most crowded. Standing out is a structural problem rather than a writing one: an article that opens with a specific number, a named process or a decision gets read, and specific things get cited by other writers. Business content that opens with a general observation gets nothing.

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 dailybusinesstime.co.uk at $80 is a good buy: this listing against the 35 other Business 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.

Two things the metrics cannot tell you, so we say them plainly: whether the host will still accept a contribution article this month, and whether the section your piece lands in is crawled weekly or monthly. Everything else on this page — 45 DA, 43 PA, 50 DR, 20,000 visits, $80, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

dailybusinesstime.co.uk out-ranks 78% of the index on audience size (about 3.6× the index median) and 77% on authority. The placement costs $4 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 70% of the DA 40-49 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $80 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Agencies that need topical relevance in a specific vertical.
• SaaS founders needing a citation trail next to review-site links.
• Local professional firms where the link plus a branded search result is the point.
• 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 45 DA placement on a Business site is a start, not a strategy.

Pitch angle: a guide to a boring process done well. That is the shape we take to a Business audience, because it is the version the host's own editor has a reason to keep.

• Put one link in the body Exactly one, in the sentence where the article needs the source. A second link to your own domain is the most common reason a piece gets rewritten before publication.
• Keep the tone flat No superlatives, no promises about outcomes, no invented before-and-after. The style that survives editorial review in Business 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.

Anchor plan for this host

• brand anchor in the author bio, once
• one contextual anchor naming the practice, not the product

• 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.
• What happens on removal. dailybusinesstime.co.uk is covered by the same 12-month replacement terms as every other listing, which means a dropped link is rebuilt and re-reported rather than argued about.
• Ownership. Several of the listings in our index turn out to share a publisher or an ad network. Relevance does not multiply when five links come from one hand, so we check the footer, the registration and the ad slots.
• Neighbour content on the same section. The twelve articles around yours set the context search engines will use to judge the link. If they are all sponsored posts on unrelated topics, the slot is worth less than the price says.

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 dailybusinesstime.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 45 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 dailybusinesstime.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 $80 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 Business section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.

What comes with this placement

• Live-URL verification, with a dated record of the placement.
• One contextual placement inside an article written for dailybusinesstime.co.uk's audience, not a link directory entry.
