delishblog.com: what a guest post here actually buys you

Entry price at $20, which is the correct way to buy authority you have not yet verified.

Food is a category with a very high content bar and a very low tolerance for commercial insertions, because the best-performing pages are pictures and steps. A placement works when your brand is part of the ingredient list, the equipment or the sourcing story; it fails when a restaurant-supply paragraph appears inside a 14-step recipe. Choose the article shape before you choose the site.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 4,780 estimated visits a month, $20 per placement, so $4.18 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 56 DA and 52 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.

Expect one link in the body plus one in the method or shopping list. Expect the editor to remove the second if the first already carries the brand.

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 delishblog.com at $20 is a good buy: this listing against the 31 other Food & Drink 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, delishblog.com sits in the top 46% for audience and the top 92% for authority, at $4.18 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 50-59 band (302 listings) that price ranks 49th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

delishblog.com out-ranks 46% of the index on audience size (in line with the index median) and 92% on authority. The placement costs $4.18 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 83% of the DA 50-59 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $20 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Equipment and ingredient suppliers selling to cooks rather than traders.
• Delivery and meal-kit brands competing on review-style queries.
• Restaurants, cafés and venues with a strong local search footprint.
• Do not buy this as part of a burst. 3–6 days is the delivery window for one placement; a month's worth of placements across several hosts is the pattern that works.
• Do not buy this if the site's topical distance from your market needs three paragraphs of explanation. Relevance has to be obvious to a crawler reading the neighbourhood.

Pitch angle: a sourcing or supply-chain note from someone inside the trade. That is the shape we take to a Food & Drink 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 Food & Drink 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.
• Name a real author A person with a title and a bio. Anonymous contributions on Food & Drink sites are the first thing an editor distrusts, and the first thing a reader discounts.

Anchor plan for this host

• 'where to buy' style anchor only if the page it leads to is a shop page for that product
• no generic recipe anchors; the reader does not need one

• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:delishblog.com and compare the count against the site's publishing rate. A property publishing weekly with a fraction of its pages indexed has a crawl or quality problem you would inherit.
• What happens on removal. delishblog.com 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.
• 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.
• Anchor history. We pull the anchors other sites have bought there. If the last twenty were all money phrases, a brand anchor from you will look natural, which is the rare and useful direction.

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 delishblog.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 56 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 delishblog.com'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.

If the article you want published needs expert authorship, data or photography, that work is included; if it needs a regulated-industry review, say so early, because it changes the timeline rather than the price.

What comes with this placement
