newscora.co.uk: what a guest post here actually buys you

Mid-market at $70: the band where judgement about the site matters more than the invoice.

Where newscora.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.

Within the General section of the index — 1,576 listings, 39 median DA, 5k median traffic, $70 median price — this placement is within a few percent of the median on cost and in line with the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $30 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $70 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

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 4.8k 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.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 41 DA and 4.8k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether newscora.co.uk 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.

newscora.co.uk has 47 DR against an index median of 51, 4.8k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $70 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.

newscora.co.uk out-ranks 46% of the index on audience size (in line with the index median) and 62% on authority. The placement costs $14.58 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 40-49. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $70 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
• 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 site's topical distance from your market needs three paragraphs of explanation. Relevance has to be obvious to a crawler reading the neighbourhood.

Pitch angle: a comparison of two options a reader is choosing between. 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.

• Keep the tone flat No superlatives, no promises about outcomes, no invented before-and-after. The style that survives editorial review in General is the style that sounds like someone reporting on their own work.
• 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 $70 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

• if you already have links from similar sites, vary the anchor shape entirely
• a descriptive anchor that repeats a phrase the article already uses naturally

• Disclosure policy. Whether the host labels paid contributions. A label costs you nothing in link value and protects the host from the penalty that removes the page.
• 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.
• 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:newscora.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 newscora.co.uk 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 newscora.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 $70 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).
