DA, DR and traffic come from our own index snapshot (September 2026) and are recalculated when a slot is booked; PA is our internal page-level score for the host's contributor templates, not a third-party metric. Prices are per placement in USD and move with publisher availability. Nothing here is a statement from playersstats.co.uk or an assurance of rankings — link building improves your inputs, not search engines’ outputs.

The placement

What a link from playersstats.co.uk actually is

8k monthly visits is thin, so the buy here is the citation and the crawl path rather than an audience.

Generalist inventory also varies more than any other kind, which is why the numbers in this brief matter more than the label. A 38 DA domain with 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.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 8,000 estimated visits a month, $70 per placement, so $8.75 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 38 DA and 35 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 playersstats.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.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 38 DA and 8k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

In context

Reading playersstats.co.uk's metrics against the market

Two comparisons decide whether playersstats.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.

Ranked against the 2,000 listings we index, playersstats.co.uk sits in the top 59% for audience and the top 36% for authority, at $8.75 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 30-39 band (892 listings) that price ranks 344th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

playersstats.co.uk out-ranks 59% of the index on audience size (about 1.5× the index median) and 36% on authority. The placement costs $8.75 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 61% of the DA 30-39 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $70 is a good trade or just a listed one.

Suitability

Which sites this suits

  • New domains that need a plausible first set of citations before anything ambitious.
  • Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
  • Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
  • 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 38 DA placement on a General site is a start, not a strategy.
  • 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.
Content brief

The content shape that survives this desk

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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Add a heading someone would search A question-style H2 phrased the way the reader phrases it. This is what lets the article rank on its own, which is the difference between a placement that gets crawled weekly and one that gets crawled yearly.

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
Pre-order checks

Our pre-order checklist for this host

  • Ownership. Several of the listings in our index turn out to share a publisher or an ad network. Relevance does not multiply when five links come from one hand, so we check the footer, the registration and the ad slots.
  • 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 38 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
  • 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.

  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 playersstats.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.
Pricing

What the $70 covers

Rates on this kind of listing drift with the host's own demand, so $70 is a current figure rather than a locked one. Volume changes the maths: a second placement on the same domain is usually refused, whereas a second placement across the General section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.

What comes with this placement

  • Link attribute verified on the published page and reported as found.
  • Anchor and target page exactly as approved in the brief, or the placement is not counted.
  • 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
  • White-label PDF + CSV report — forward it to a client unchanged.
FAQ

Questions about a playersstats.co.uk placement

Compare it with the market rather than the label. In our index the median general listing is priced at $70 with a median DA of 39 and median traffic of 5k, which puts playersstats.co.uk within a few percent of the median and about 1.5× the index median. If the article you place there is specific enough to be cited by someone else, you have bought an asset. If it is filler, you have bought 38 points of something nobody reads.

By the tests we run, no: 8k estimated monthly visits, a 38 DA score and 44 DR are not the shape of a network built to sell links, and the site's own publishing activity is visible. What we cannot certify is what happens after our snapshot — a site can be sold, a section can be converted into a link shop, a CMS migration can drop a page. That is why the live URL is re-checked before delivery and why the replacement cover exists.

DA 38 describes the domain. The PA figure here (35) is our own page-level score for the templates that would carry your placement: how deep the site links them, how much of the domain's crawl budget and internal weight reaches them, how old and how referenced they are. A site can hold 38 DA while its contributor template scores 35, and it is the template that your link sits in.

Rebuilt and re-reported, under the same 12-month cover as every placement in the index. Links drop for boring reasons — redesigns, content pruning, a host losing interest in contributor content — and playersstats.co.uk is no more immune than a 38 DA site usually is. We monitor rather than waiting for you to notice.

Generally yes, if the budget stretches: the guest post builds the brand trail and the author profile, the niche edit applies pressure to a page that already ranks. Keep them a week or two apart so the arrivals do not look like a single campaign, and use different anchor shapes for each.

No, and nobody selling links can honestly do that. What we control: the placement is real, contextual, followed where our index says followed, permanent for the covered period, and reported with a live URL. What your rankings do after that depends on your on-page work, your existing profile and the competition on the keyword. The footnote on every page here says the same thing for the same reason.
