Guest post on marketmedianews.co.uk: the site brief

Mid-market at $65: 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 37 DA domain with 2k 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.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 2,000 estimated visits a month, $65 per placement, so $32.50 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 37 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 marketmedianews.co.uk 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.

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 marketmedianews.co.uk at $65 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.

marketmedianews.co.uk has 52 DR against an index median of 51, 2k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $65 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.

marketmedianews.co.uk out-ranks 25% of the index on audience size (roughly 36% of the index median) and 29% on authority. The placement costs $32.50 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 30-39. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $65 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• New domains that need a plausible first set of citations before anything ambitious.
• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
• Do not buy this if you need the anchor to be your money keyword and the host is marked Do-follow. Attribute and anchor politics matter less than the page's survival, and a forced anchor is the easiest thing for an editor to change.
• 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 data note built from something you have measured. 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.

• 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 $65 look cheap a year later.
• 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.
• 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

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

• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 37 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.
• What happens on removal. marketmedianews.co.uk 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:marketmedianews.co.uk 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.

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 marketmedianews.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 37 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 marketmedianews.co.uk'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 $65 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

• Live-URL verification, with a dated record of the placement.
• The article itself, drafted to the host's style and edited before submission.
• One contextual placement inside an article written for marketmedianews.co.uk's audience, not a link directory entry.
• White-label PDF + CSV report — forward it to a client unchanged.
