The iemrobotics.com placement brief

Mid-market at $80: the band where judgement about the site matters more than the invoice.

Generalist inventory also varies more than any other kind, which is why the numbers in this brief matter more than the label. A 41 DA domain with 18.3k estimated monthly visits and Do-follow links is a different product from the same DA with a tenth of the traffic, and they are priced too close together in most catalogues.

Ranked against the 2,000 listings we index, iemrobotics.com sits in the top 76% for audience and the top 62% for authority, at $4.37 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 40-49 band (703 listings) that price ranks 230th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

Where iemrobotics.com is not a topical match for your market, buy it for that plausibility and for whatever brand exposure comes free, and put your exact-match anchors on the sites that genuinely cover your subject. That one discipline is the difference between a general guest post strengthening a profile and the same link making it look synthetic.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 41 DA and 18.3k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether iemrobotics.com at $80 is a good buy: this listing against the 1,576 other General 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.

iemrobotics.com has 52 DR against an index median of 51, 18.3k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $80 against $70. Where those three numbers point in different directions, the traffic figure is usually the honest one: it is what a publisher has to protect, and it is what decays first when a site starts selling too much inventory.

iemrobotics.com out-ranks 76% of the index on audience size (about 3.3× the index median) and 62% on authority. The placement costs $4.37 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 67% 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.

• New domains that need a plausible first set of citations before anything ambitious.
• Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• 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. 7–12 days is the delivery window for one placement; a month's worth of placements across several hosts is the pattern that works.

Pitch angle: an experience write-up with numbers, dates and decisions. That is the shape we take to a General audience, because it is the version the host's own editor has a reason to keep.

• 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.
• Include one thing nobody else has A table, a chart, a worked example, a photograph you took. This is what earns the citations that make the $80 look cheap a year later.
• Name a real author A person with a title and a bio. Anonymous contributions on General sites are the first thing an editor distrusts, and the first thing a reader discounts.

Anchor plan for this host

• no two anchors to the same target page from one article
• a descriptive anchor that repeats a phrase the article already uses naturally

• What happens on removal. iemrobotics.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.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 41 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• 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.

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 iemrobotics.com 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 iemrobotics.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 $80 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

• One contextual placement inside an article written for iemrobotics.com's audience, not a link directory entry.
• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
• The article itself, drafted to the host's style and edited before submission.
• Anchor and target page exactly as approved in the brief, or the placement is not counted.
