Guest post on friesandexercise.com: the site 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 commercial temptation is exactly what the guidelines punish: promising outcomes. Write about process, access, cost and design, keep treatment claims inside the evidence, and never put a promise in the anchor. That constraint is also why health placements hold value better than most categories, the surviving pages are the careful ones.

Within the Health section of the index — 37 listings, 54 median DA, 4.9k median traffic, $40 median price — this placement is 25% above the median on cost and in line with the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $20 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $50 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

Where a site in this group carries 6k visits a month, expect the editorial desk to check whether your brand has any existing footprint: review profile, registration with the relevant professional body, a physical address. Those checks protect their own standing, and passing them quietly strengthens yours.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 55 DA and 6k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether friesandexercise.com at $50 is a good buy: this listing against the 37 other Health 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.

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, 44 PA, 39 DR, 6,000 visits, $50, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

friesandexercise.com out-ranks 53% of the index on audience size (in line with the index median) and 90% on authority. The placement costs $8.33 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 60% of the DA 50-59 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $50 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Recruiters and training providers targeting professionals rather than patients.
• Health-tech and wellness brands that need qualified authorship they cannot produce in-house.
• Services in contested regulatory markets where a neutral mention is worth more than ten directories.
• 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.
• 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: a service design piece: what a good experience looks like and why. That is the shape we take to a Health 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 Health is the style that sounds like someone reporting on their own work.
• 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.
• 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.

Anchor plan for this host

• no treatment keywords in anchors at all; on this category's pages they read as spam before a human does
• the clinic or service name, once, in the body

• 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.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 55 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• Editorial activity. A site with 6k 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. friesandexercise.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.

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 friesandexercise.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 friesandexercise.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 $50 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 Health section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.

What comes with this placement

• Anchor and target page exactly as approved in the brief, or the placement is not counted.
• One contextual placement inside an article written for friesandexercise.com's audience, not a link directory entry.
