Guest post on maltamagazine.com: the site brief

32.8k monthly visits is a steady, readable audience, roughly about 6.0× the index median compared with the index median of 5.5k.

Where maltamagazine.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.

maltamagazine.com has 64 DR against an index median of 51, 32.8k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $85 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 39 DA domain with 32.8k 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.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 39 DA and 32.8k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether maltamagazine.com at $85 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, maltamagazine.com sits in the top 85% for audience and the top 42% for authority, at $2.59 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 30-39 band (892 listings) that price ranks 133rd for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

maltamagazine.com out-ranks 85% of the index on audience size (about 6.0× the index median) and 42% on authority. The placement costs $2.59 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 85% of the DA 30-39 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $85 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
• 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 39 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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

• no two anchors to the same target page from one article
• if you already have links from similar sites, vary the anchor shape entirely

• Editorial activity. A site with 32.8k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.
• 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 maltamagazine.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 39 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 maltamagazine.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 $85 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.
