Publishing on itechsoul.com — metrics, brief and price

Traffic of 98k per month places this in the middle of the index (95% of listings are smaller), where the best value in guest posting tends to sit.

The commercial value here is different from a general blog: a link from a technology title is usually read by people who will mention it somewhere else. That is why an article with a real number in it keeps returning value a year later, while a listicle about trends dies in the archive. Give the editor something they can cite.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 98,000 estimated visits a month, $95 per placement, so $0.97 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 57 DA and 54 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.

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 98k monthly visits cannot survive publishing filler, so write for their reader first and your anchor second.

The index lists this property's editorial links as followed. Availability of a followed link changes with the site's monetisation decisions, so we confirm the tag on the live URL before counting delivery.

Two comparisons decide whether itechsoul.com at $95 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.

itechsoul.com has 54 DR against an index median of 51, 98k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $95 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.

itechsoul.com out-ranks 95% of the index on audience size (about 17.8× the index median) and 93% on authority. The placement costs $0.97 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 95% of the DA 50-59 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $95 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• SaaS and dev-tool companies whose buyers shortlist from articles they half-remember.
• Agencies selling technical work who need proof of specialism, not proof of volume.
• Migration and platform pages that compete on comparison terms.
• 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 57 DA placement on a Technology site is a start, not a strategy.
• Do not buy this as part of a burst. 10–16 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 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.

• 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.
• Keep the tone flat No superlatives, no promises about outcomes, no invented before-and-after. The style that survives editorial review in Technology is the style that sounds like someone reporting on their own work.
• 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

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

• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 57 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:itechsoul.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.
• 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.

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 itechsoul.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 57 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 itechsoul.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.
