Publishing on streameast.org.uk — metrics, brief and price

158k a month is solid mid-size traffic: enough that the host maintains its pages, small enough that a well-written contribution stands out in the queue.

Expect the site's own SEO team to strip anything promotional, and expect the editorial bar to be low for listicles and high for analysis. Aim at the second shape: your brand appears once, in the sentence where the article says who produced the data or does the work. A 35 DA title in this group still has real crawl frequency, which means the citation gets found quickly.

Within the Entertainment section of the index — 12 listings, 42 median DA, 24k median traffic, $80 median price — this placement is within a few percent of the median on cost and about 28.7× the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $30 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $80 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

Entertainment publishing trades in volume and speed, which makes it a poor place to buy a keyword anchor and a decent place to buy a citation with your company's name on it. The articles that last are the business and craft analysis pieces, because those get cited by other writers long after the release cycle moves on.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 35 DA and 158k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether streameast.org.uk at $80 is a good buy: this listing against the 12 other Entertainment 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.

Two things the metrics cannot tell you, so we say them plainly: whether the host will still accept a contribution article this month, and whether the section your piece lands in is crawled weekly or monthly. Everything else on this page — 35 DA, 33 PA, 37 DR, 158,000 visits, $80, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

streameast.org.uk out-ranks 97% of the index on audience size (about 28.7× the index median) and 15% on authority. The placement costs $0.51 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 98% of the DA 30-39 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $80 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Entertainment-adjacent SaaS: ticketing, licensing, edit tools.
• Venues and live-events businesses with regional search demand.
• Arts education and services needing a broader brand trail.
• 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: an analysis of a trend in one format or genre. That is the shape we take to a Entertainment audience, because it is the version the host's own editor has a reason to keep.

• Send the anchor text in the draft Not afterwards. Once the editor has set the copy, changing the anchor is a new request and a new reason for the link to end up in a bio block.
• Put one link in the body Exactly one, in the sentence where the article needs the source. A second link to your own domain is the most common reason a piece gets rewritten before publication.
• 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 $80 look cheap a year later.

Anchor plan for this host

• the brand or report name as the anchor where it is credited
• a project or title name rather than a commercial keyword

• 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.
• Template stability. Redesigns and CMS migrations kill placements. We check the age of the site's oldest surviving article as a proxy for how long a page there tends to live.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 35 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:streameast.org.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 streameast.org.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 35 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 streameast.org.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.

Rates on this kind of listing drift with the host's own demand, so $80 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 Entertainment section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.
