Guest post on hegeek.com: the site brief

At 42 DA, judge the placement on the page and the neighbours, not on the score.

Tech audiences are the least tolerant of marketing dressed as engineering, and the editors of these sites know it. The pieces that get published, indexed and then linked to by other people are the ones with a claim, evidence and a reproducible method. Anything that reads like a feature list gets cut back to two sentences and a bio link.

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 — 42 DA, 36 PA, 40 DR, 6,000 visits, $40, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

Expect editorial standards to be enforced on the structure as well as the tone: no thin affiliate comparisons, no recycled press copy, links that go somewhere the reader needs rather than somewhere you want. Sites with 6k monthly visits cannot survive publishing filler, so write for their reader first and your anchor second.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 42 DA and 6k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether hegeek.com at $40 is a good buy: this listing against the 53 other Technology 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: 6,000 estimated visits a month, $40 per placement, so $6.67 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 42 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.

hegeek.com out-ranks 53% of the index on audience size (in line with the index median) and 70% on authority. The placement costs $6.67 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 40-49. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $40 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Migration and platform pages that compete on comparison terms.
• Agencies selling technical work who need proof of specialism, not proof of volume.
• Founders building a personal search presence alongside the company site.
• 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 42 DA placement on a Technology 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: a migration or incident post-mortem with the numbers you would rather not publish. That is the shape we take to a Technology 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.
• Send the anchor text in the draft Not afterwards. Once the editor has set the copy, changing the anchor is a new request and a new reason for the link to end up in a bio block.
• Open with the thing you know One specific claim, a number or a dated decision, in the first two sentences. Editors in Technology positions decide whether to keep a contribution in about that long.

Anchor plan for this host

• two links maximum, one of them to a reference outside your own domain
• a product-name anchor only in the bio or a final 'tools mentioned' line

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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 hegeek.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 42 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 hegeek.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.

If the article you want published needs expert authorship, data or photography, that work is included; if it needs a regulated-industry review, say so early, because it changes the timeline rather than the price.

What comes with this placement

• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
