jsoncompareonline.com: a contextual link, and whether it is worth $80

Mid-market at $80: 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 40-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.

Ranked against the 2,000 listings we index, jsoncompareonline.com sits in the top 86% for audience and the top 52% for authority, at $2.23 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 40-49 band (703 listings) that price ranks 129th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

Where jsoncompareonline.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.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 40 DA and 35.9k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether jsoncompareonline.com at $80 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.

jsoncompareonline.com has 47 DR against an index median of 51, 35.9k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $80 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.

jsoncompareonline.com out-ranks 86% of the index on audience size (about 6.5× the index median) and 52% on authority. The placement costs $2.23 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 82% of the DA 40-49 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $80 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• 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: a myth-busting piece on one belief your industry has to fight. 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.

• 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.
• 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

• a descriptive anchor that repeats a phrase the article already uses naturally
• one brand or URL anchor in the first half, and nothing else

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 jsoncompareonline.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 40 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 jsoncompareonline.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.

The quoted $80 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).

What comes with this placement

• Anchor and target page exactly as approved in the brief, or the placement is not counted.
• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
• White-label PDF + CSV report — forward it to a client unchanged.
• The article itself, drafted to the host's style and edited before submission.
