Guest post on francoistuchel.org: the site brief

Small traffic is not automatically a problem at 32 DA, but it removes the argument for a premium price, and it is why we push buyers towards the budget end for sites in this band.

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 32-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.

Two things the metrics cannot tell you, so we say them plainly: whether the host will still accept a contribution article this month, and whether the section your piece lands in is crawled weekly or monthly. Everything else on this page — 32 DA, 26 PA, 53 DR, 4,000 visits, $65, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

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 4k 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 32 DA and 4k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether francoistuchel.org at $65 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.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 4,000 estimated visits a month, $65 per placement, so $16.25 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 32 DA and 26 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.

francoistuchel.org out-ranks 42% of the index on audience size (roughly 73% of the index median) and 6% on authority. The placement costs $16.25 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 30-39. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $65 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• 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 site's topical distance from your market needs three paragraphs of explanation. Relevance has to be obvious to a crawler reading the neighbourhood.

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.

• 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.
• 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 $65 look cheap a year later.
• 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.

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

• 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:francoistuchel.org 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.
• Link attribute on a live example. Not the pitch, not the rate card: the rel attribute on an outbound link in a real article published this month.
• What happens on removal. francoistuchel.org 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 francoistuchel.org Publisher slots move week to week, including on 32 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 francoistuchel.org'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 $65 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

• Anchor and target page exactly as approved in the brief, or the placement is not counted.
• Live-URL verification, with a dated record of the placement.
• Link attribute verified on the published page and reported as found.
• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
