The flypapermagazine.com placement brief

At 47 DA, judge the placement on the page and the neighbours, not on the score.

Titles in this group are usually run by small teams with high volume, so turnaround depends on their queue rather than on your brief. A short, tightly edited 700-900 word contribution with one link and a named author clears desks that would reject a 2,000-word marketing essay with four.

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 — 47 DA, 41 PA, 26 DR, 104,000 visits, $80, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

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.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 47 DA and 104k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether flypapermagazine.com at $80 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: 104,000 estimated visits a month, $80 per placement, so $0.77 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 47 DA and 41 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.

flypapermagazine.com out-ranks 96% of the index on audience size (about 18.9× the index median) and 79% on authority. The placement costs $0.77 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 95% 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.

• Launch and funding moments that benefit from a spike, not a permanent link.
• Recovery work after a penalty, when the profile needs plausible, editorial-looking citations fast.
• Regulated or contested markets where a neutral publication carrying your name is worth more than a blog link.
• 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 47 DA placement on a News & Media site is a start, not a strategy.
• 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.

Pitch angle: an explainers-plus-data piece tied to a story cycle in your market, not a press release. 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Anchor plan for this host

• one descriptive anchor that repeats the headline's subject, never your commercial keyword
• a naked URL only where the site's style allows it, which news desks rarely do mid-paragraph

• What happens on removal. flypapermagazine.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.
• 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:flypapermagazine.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.
• Editorial activity. A site with 104k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.

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 flypapermagazine.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 47 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 flypapermagazine.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.

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 News & Media section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.
