Guest post on findmagazine.co.uk: the site brief

41 DA is a respectable, unglamorous middle band: the links that make a profile look normal rather than lucky.

What makes a media placement behave differently from a blog placement is the traffic shape: a spike in the first 48 hours, then almost nothing, then a slow trickle that search supplies for months. That is a fine trade if you want proof your brand can be quoted; it is a poor trade if you bought the slot hoping for a permanent contextual link. Confirm the permalink will stay in the site's archive before you commit.

Within the News & Media section of the index — 88 listings, 40 median DA, 31.3k median traffic, $75 median price — this placement is 13% below the median on cost and roughly 36% of the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $35 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $65 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

News sites are the hardest place to earn a body link and the easiest place to earn a mention. Editorial staff strip links from contributions more often than any other publisher type, and the ones that survive are the links that carry a source, a figure or a document a reader might want. Build the piece around something citable and a link stops looking like a favour.

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 findmagazine.co.uk at $65 is a good buy: this listing against the 88 other News & Media 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.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 2,000 estimated visits a month, $65 per placement, so $32.50 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 41 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.

findmagazine.co.uk out-ranks 25% of the index on audience size (roughly 36% of the index median) and 62% on authority. The placement costs $32.50 per thousand estimated visits, and one of the pricier placements in its DA 40-49 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $65 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Recovery work after a penalty, when the profile needs plausible, editorial-looking citations fast.
• Brand-proof pages where a citation from a title this size is the point of the exercise.
• Regulated or contested markets where a neutral publication carrying your name is worth more than a blog link.
• Do not buy this if the page it would sit on is already crowded with five other commercial links — we will usually flag that at the availability check and offer a different section.
• 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 market note that cites your own numbers, because news desks publish data and rarely publish opinions. That is the shape we take to a News & Media 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.
• 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 News & Media sites are the first thing an editor distrusts, and the first thing a reader discounts.

Anchor plan for this host

• a naked URL only where the site's style allows it, which news desks rarely do mid-paragraph
• brand or the person's name, once, in the first third of the article

• 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.
• Editorial activity. A site with 2k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.
• 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.
• 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.

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 findmagazine.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 41 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 findmagazine.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 $65 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

• Live-URL verification, with a dated record of the placement.
• Link attribute verified on the published page and reported as found.
• One contextual placement inside an article written for findmagazine.co.uk's audience, not a link directory entry.
