At entry pricing we book these in sets rather than singly: one cheap link proves nothing, six spread over two months is a pattern.
There is a practical reason to write for the archive here: finance queries are evergreen and the same articles keep returning search traffic for years, which means a contextual link from a well-maintained finance title outlives a placement on a news feed. It also means the site's existing anchor neighbours are visible, permanent and worth checking before you order.
Within the Finance section of the index — 8 listings, 43 median DA, 4.5k median traffic, $37.50 median price — this placement is 47% below the median on cost and roughly 57% of the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $20 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $20 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.
Expect 39 DA sites in this category to reject a second link outright and to be suspicious of any anchor containing 'loan', 'insurance' or 'invest'. The pieces that get published with a link intact are the ones where the link is to a calculation, a dataset or a document the article itself would be worse without.
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.
