Guest post on techjihad.com: the site brief

Traffic of 206k per month places this in the middle of the index (98% of listings are smaller), where the best value in guest posting tends to sit.

The commercial value here is different from a general blog: a link from a technology title is usually read by people who will mention it somewhere else. That is why an article with a real number in it keeps returning value a year later, while a listicle about trends dies in the archive. Give the editor something they can cite.

Within the Technology section of the index — 53 listings, 41 median DA, 15.5k median traffic, $40 median price — this placement is within a few percent of the median on cost and about 37.5× the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $30 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $40 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

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.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 34 DA and 206k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether techjihad.com at $40 is a good buy: this listing against the 53 other Technology 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, techjihad.com sits in the top 98% for audience and the top 11% for authority, at $0.19 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 30-39 band (892 listings) that price ranks 6th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

techjihad.com out-ranks 98% of the index on audience size (about 37.5× the index median) and 11% on authority. The placement costs $0.19 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 99% of the DA 30-39 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $40 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• SaaS and dev-tool companies whose buyers shortlist from articles they half-remember.
• Migration and platform pages that compete on comparison terms.
• Agencies selling technical work who need proof of specialism, not proof of volume.
• 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 as part of a burst. 5–9 days is the delivery window for one placement; a month's worth of placements across several hosts is the pattern that works.

Pitch angle: a tutorial that a reader can finish in an afternoon and verify. That is the shape we take to a Technology 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Anchor plan for this host

• two links maximum, one of them to a reference outside your own domain
• a product-name anchor only in the bio or a final 'tools mentioned' line

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Editorial activity. A site with 206k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.

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 techjihad.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 34 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 techjihad.com'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.

If the article you want published needs expert authorship, data or photography, that work is included; if it needs a regulated-industry review, say so early, because it changes the timeline rather than the price.
