The ifeof.org placement brief

At 13.7k visits a month, expect the article to be found by search rather than by the site's own readers, which makes the durability of the page the thing to scrutinise.

There is a second job these placements do that is worth naming: they make a young or thin profile look normal. A domain that acquires 40-level links from a spread of ordinary publications, in drips, over months, looks like a business that has been around. A domain that acquires forty links from aggressive networks in a fortnight looks like a campaign, and it is the pattern rather than the individual link that gets noticed.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 13,700 estimated visits a month, $70 per placement, so $5.11 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 40 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.

Where ifeof.org 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 40 DA and 13.7k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether ifeof.org at $70 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.

Ranked against the 2,000 listings we index, ifeof.org sits in the top 70% for audience and the top 52% for authority, at $5.11 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 40-49 band (703 listings) that price ranks 262nd for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

ifeof.org out-ranks 70% of the index on audience size (about 2.5× the index median) and 52% on authority. The placement costs $5.11 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 63% of the DA 40-49 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $70 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• 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.
• 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 myth-busting piece on one belief your industry has to fight. 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• Open with the thing you know One specific claim, a number or a dated decision, in the first two sentences. Editors in General positions decide whether to keep a contribution in about that long.

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

• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:ifeof.org 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.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 40 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• Neighbour content on the same section. The twelve articles around yours set the context search engines will use to judge the link. If they are all sponsored posts on unrelated topics, the slot is worth less than the price says.
• 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 ifeof.org Publisher slots move week to week, including on 40 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 ifeof.org'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.
