The thenoobgamerz.com placement brief

DA 35 is entry-level editorial territory, and the right place to test whether guest content earns you anything before you spend premium money.

Where thenoobgamerz.com 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.

thenoobgamerz.com has 51 DR against an index median of 51, 1k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $55 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 35 DA domain with 1k 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 thenoobgamerz.com at $55 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, thenoobgamerz.com sits in the top 5% for audience and the top 15% for authority, at $55 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 30-39 band (892 listings) that price ranks 797th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

thenoobgamerz.com out-ranks 5% of the index on audience size (roughly 18% of the index median) and 15% on authority. The placement costs $55 per thousand estimated visits, and one of the pricier placements in its DA 30-39 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $55 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• New domains that need a plausible first set of citations before anything ambitious.
• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• Do not buy this as part of a burst. 7–12 days is the delivery window for one placement; a month's worth of placements across several hosts is the pattern that works.
• 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 experience write-up with numbers, dates and decisions. 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.
• Open with the thing you know One specific claim, a number or a dated decision, in the first two sentences. Editors in General positions decide whether to keep a contribution in about that long.
• 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.

Anchor plan for this host

• if you already have links from similar sites, vary the anchor shape entirely
• one brand or URL anchor in the first half, and nothing else

• What happens on removal. thenoobgamerz.com 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.
• 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:thenoobgamerz.com 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.

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 thenoobgamerz.com 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 thenoobgamerz.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.

Rates on this kind of listing drift with the host's own demand, so $55 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 General section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.

What comes with this placement

• White-label PDF + CSV report — forward it to a client unchanged.
• Link attribute verified on the published page and reported as found.
• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
• Anchor and target page exactly as approved in the brief, or the placement is not counted.
