A 39 DA listing at $80 is the price of an experiment: if the article earns citations, you have found a channel; if not, you have lost one invoice.
Tech audiences are the least tolerant of marketing dressed as engineering, and the editors of these sites know it. The pieces that get published, indexed and then linked to by other people are the ones with a claim, evidence and a reproducible method. Anything that reads like a feature list gets cut back to two sentences and a bio link.
Ranked against the 2,000 listings we index, techeasily.co.uk sits in the top 75% for audience and the top 42% for authority, at $4.44 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 30-39 band (892 listings) that price ranks 204th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.
Expect editorial standards to be enforced on the structure as well as the tone: no thin affiliate comparisons, no recycled press copy, links that go somewhere the reader needs rather than somewhere you want. Sites with 18k monthly visits cannot survive publishing filler, so write for their reader first and your anchor second.
Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 39 DA and 18k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.
