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 theaelftech.com.au or an assurance of rankings — link building improves your inputs, not search engines’ outputs.

The placement

The placement, described plainly

Mid-market at $80: the band where judgement about the site matters more than the invoice.

Where theaelftech.com.au 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.

Ranked against the 2,000 listings we index, theaelftech.com.au sits in the top 78% for audience and the top 42% for authority, at $3.88 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 30-39 band (892 listings) that price ranks 180th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

Generalist inventory also varies more than any other kind, which is why the numbers in this brief matter more than the label. A 39 DA domain with 20.6k 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 39 DA and 20.6k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

In context

The metrics, in context

Two comparisons decide whether theaelftech.com.au at $80 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.

theaelftech.com.au has 61 DR against an index median of 51, 20.6k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $80 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.

theaelftech.com.au out-ranks 78% of the index on audience size (about 3.7× the index median) and 42% on authority. The placement costs $3.88 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 80% 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.

Suitability

Which sites this suits

  • Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
  • New domains that need a plausible first set of citations before anything ambitious.
  • Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
  • 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.
  • 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 39 DA placement on a General site is a start, not a strategy.
Content brief

What to submit, and what gets cut

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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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

  • one brand or URL anchor in the first half, and nothing else
  • a descriptive anchor that repeats a phrase the article already uses naturally
Pre-order checks

Our pre-order checklist for this host

  • Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:theaelftech.com.au 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Anchor history. We pull the anchors other sites have bought there. If the last twenty were all money phrases, a brand anchor from you will look natural, which is the rare and useful direction.

Pricing

Pricing on this placement

The quoted $80 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).

What comes with this placement

  • One contextual placement inside an article written for theaelftech.com.au's audience, not a link directory entry.
  • 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.
  • Availability confirmed on the exact URL before you are invoiced.
FAQ

Questions about a theaelftech.com.au 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 theaelftech.com.au 14% above the median and about 3.7× 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 39 points of something nobody reads.

By the tests we run, no: 20.6k estimated monthly visits, a 39 DA score and 61 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 39 describes the domain. The PA figure here (37) 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 39 DA while its contributor template scores 37, 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 theaelftech.com.au is no more immune than a 39 DA site usually is. We monitor rather than waiting for you to notice.

Mechanically: DA 39 against a median of 39, 20.6k monthly visits against 5k, $80 against a median of $70. That puts this listing 14% above the median on price and well above the index median on audience within its own section of the index, which is the only comparison worth making when you are spending $80.

Expect the placement to be crawled within days of publication and the measurable movement in impressions to arrive weeks later, because that is how crawl and devaluation cycles work. Delivery on this listing runs 7–12 days, which is the publication window rather than the ranking window. Our guide to link-building timing covers what to watch for and when.
