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

Mid-market at $80: the band where judgement about the site matters more than the invoice.

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 62-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: 6,100 estimated visits a month, $80 per placement, so $13.11 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 62 DA and 53 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.

Generalist inventory also varies more than any other kind, which is why the numbers in this brief matter more than the label. A 62 DA domain with 6.1k estimated monthly visits and Do-follow links is a different product from the same DA with a tenth of the traffic, and they are priced too close together in most catalogues.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 62 DA and 6.1k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether exposedmagazine.co.uk at $80 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, exposedmagazine.co.uk sits in the top 54% for audience and the top 97% for authority, at $13.11 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 60-69 band (77 listings) that price ranks 28th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

exposedmagazine.co.uk out-ranks 54% of the index on audience size (in line with the index median) and 97% on authority. The placement costs $13.11 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 64% of the DA 60-69 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $80 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• New domains that need a plausible first set of citations before anything ambitious.
• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• Do not buy this as part of a burst. 7–12 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 your profile has no branded searches yet and this is meant to be the single link that changes that. One 62 DA placement on a General site is a start, not a strategy.

Pitch angle: a comparison of two options a reader is choosing between. 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.

• 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.
• Include one thing nobody else has A table, a chart, a worked example, a photograph you took. This is what earns the citations that make the $80 look cheap a year later.
• 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

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

• 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:exposedmagazine.co.uk 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.
• 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 exposedmagazine.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 62 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 exposedmagazine.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.

The quoted $80 is our standard rate for this listing at the time of the September 2026 snapshot. Two things move it: whether the host still has contributor capacity that month, and whether the slot you want is a standalone article or a paragraph inside an existing page (niche edits on the same property are typically cheaper and faster).

What comes with this placement

• Link attribute verified on the published page and reported as found.
• White-label PDF + CSV report — forward it to a client unchanged.
• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
• Anchor and target page exactly as approved in the brief, or the placement is not counted.
