The foodygame.com placement brief

At $50 this is a budget listing; the maths still has to work, and it works when the page is topical and the host is active.

The upside is durability: recipe and technique pages are queried forever and get linked by round-ups, so a contextual link inside a well-ranked evergreen food article compounds. Where the index shows 2.8k monthly visits on foodygame.com, most of that is recipe search, and recipe search is the most stable traffic in food publishing.

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 — 55 DA, 48 PA, 37 DR, 2,804 visits, $50, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

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.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 55 DA and 2.8k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether foodygame.com at $50 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.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 2,804 estimated visits a month, $50 per placement, so $17.83 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 55 DA and 48 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.

foodygame.com out-ranks 32% of the index on audience size (roughly 51% of the index median) and 90% on authority. The placement costs $17.83 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 50-59. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $50 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Delivery and meal-kit brands competing on review-style queries.
• Food and drink producers who need retail-adjacent citations.
• Equipment and ingredient suppliers selling to cooks rather than traders.
• 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 as part of a burst. 5–9 days is the delivery window for one placement; a month's worth of placements across several hosts is the pattern that works.

Pitch angle: a regional guide to where to eat or buy, written by a local. 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.

• 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.
• 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.

Anchor plan for this host

• the specific product or supplier name inside the shopping line
• no generic recipe anchors; the reader does not need one

• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:foodygame.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 2.8k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.
• What happens on removal. foodygame.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.
• Disclosure policy. Whether the host labels paid contributions. A label costs you nothing in link value and protects the host from the penalty that removes the page.

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 foodygame.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 55 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 foodygame.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.

The quoted $50 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).
