The electronmagazine.co.uk placement brief

Mid-market at $60: the band where judgement about the site matters more than the invoice.

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 37-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.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 1,200 estimated visits a month, $60 per placement, so $50 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 37 DA and 30 PA. Snapshot September 2026; availability and the exact link attribute are confirmed on the live URL before an invoice, which is the only part of this page that changes week to week.

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 1.2k 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.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 37 DA and 1.2k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether electronmagazine.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.

electronmagazine.co.uk has 51 DR against an index median of 51, 1.2k 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.

electronmagazine.co.uk out-ranks 16% of the index on audience size (roughly 22% of the index median) and 29% on authority. The placement costs $50 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 $60 is a good trade or just a listed one.

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

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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

• What happens on removal. electronmagazine.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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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 electronmagazine.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 37 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 electronmagazine.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.

The quoted $60 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).
