The bloggerstopics.com placement brief

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

General-interest publications are the workhorses of a link profile and the easiest place to overpay. The article shape that works is boringly specific: a problem, the method used, what happened, what it cost. A general title with 55.1k monthly visits survives because it answers questions well, not because it loves contributors, so a piece with nothing verifiable in it gets edited down to a bio link.

Within the General section of the index — 1,576 listings, 39 median DA, 5k median traffic, $70 median price — this placement is 29% above the median on cost and about 10.0× the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $30 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $90 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

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 55.1k 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 bloggerstopics.com at $90 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.

bloggerstopics.com has 60 DR against an index median of 51, 55.1k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $90 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.

bloggerstopics.com out-ranks 91% of the index on audience size (about 10.0× the index median) and 70% on authority. The placement costs $1.63 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 89% of the DA 40-49 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $90 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 if the site's topical distance from your market needs three paragraphs of explanation. Relevance has to be obvious to a crawler reading the neighbourhood.
• 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.

Pitch angle: a local or regional piece with detail a generalist cannot fake. 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.

• Keep the tone flat No superlatives, no promises about outcomes, no invented before-and-after. The style that survives editorial review in General is the style that sounds like someone reporting on their own work.
• 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

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

• What happens on removal. bloggerstopics.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.
• 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.
• Editorial activity. A site with 55.1k 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 bloggerstopics.com 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 bloggerstopics.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.

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.
