The theimagefap.co.uk placement brief

At 42 DA, judge the placement on the page and the neighbours, not on the score.

There is a second job these placements do that is worth naming: they make a young or thin profile look normal. A domain that acquires 42-level links from a spread of ordinary publications, in drips, over months, looks like a business that has been around. A domain that acquires forty links from aggressive networks in a fortnight looks like a campaign, and it is the pattern rather than the individual link that gets noticed.

theimagefap.co.uk has 42 DR against an index median of 51, 2.7k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $60 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.

Generalist inventory also varies more than any other kind, which is why the numbers in this brief matter more than the label. A 42 DA domain with 2.7k 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 index lists this property's editorial links as followed. Availability of a followed link changes with the site's monetisation decisions, so we confirm the tag on the live URL before counting delivery.

Two comparisons decide whether theimagefap.co.uk at $60 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, theimagefap.co.uk sits in the top 32% for audience and the top 70% for authority, at $22.22 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 40-49 band (703 listings) that price ranks 536th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

theimagefap.co.uk out-ranks 32% of the index on audience size (roughly 49% of the index median) and 70% on authority. The placement costs $22.22 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 40-49. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $60 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• 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: a comparison of two options a reader is choosing between. 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.

• 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 $60 look cheap a year later.
• 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.
• 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.

Anchor plan for this host

• no two anchors to the same target page from one article
• one brand or URL anchor in the first half, and nothing else

• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:theimagefap.co.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.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 42 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• 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.
• What happens on removal. theimagefap.co.uk is covered by the same 12-month replacement terms as every other listing, which means a dropped link is rebuilt and re-reported rather than argued about.

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 theimagefap.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 42 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 theimagefap.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.

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.
