Guest post on networkustad.com: the site brief

Premium pricing at $90, which we only recommend when the article you place would have been published anyway.

Expect editorial standards to be enforced on the structure as well as the tone: no thin affiliate comparisons, no recycled press copy, links that go somewhere the reader needs rather than somewhere you want. Sites with 8.3k monthly visits cannot survive publishing filler, so write for their reader first and your anchor second.

Within the Technology section of the index — 53 listings, 41 median DA, 15.5k median traffic, $40 median price — this placement is 125% above the median on cost and about 1.5× 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.

Tech audiences are the least tolerant of marketing dressed as engineering, and the editors of these sites know it. The pieces that get published, indexed and then linked to by other people are the ones with a claim, evidence and a reproducible method. Anything that reads like a feature list gets cut back to two sentences and a bio link.

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 networkustad.com at $90 is a good buy: this listing against the 53 other Technology 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.

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 — 64 DA, 54 PA, 65 DR, 8,300 visits, $90, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

networkustad.com out-ranks 60% of the index on audience size (about 1.5× the index median) and 98% on authority. The placement costs $10.84 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 68% of the DA 60-69 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $90 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Agencies selling technical work who need proof of specialism, not proof of volume.
• Migration and platform pages that compete on comparison terms.
• Founders building a personal search presence alongside the company site.
• 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.
• 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 comparison of two approaches to a problem your product happens to solve. That is the shape we take to a Technology 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 Technology positions decide whether to keep a contribution in about that long.
• 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.
• Keep the tone flat No superlatives, no promises about outcomes, no invented before-and-after. The style that survives editorial review in Technology is the style that sounds like someone reporting on their own work.

Anchor plan for this host

• two links maximum, one of them to a reference outside your own domain
• a descriptive anchor naming the technique, pointing at the page that explains that technique

• 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.
• 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:networkustad.com 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.
• 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.

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 networkustad.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 64 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 networkustad.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.

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.

What comes with this placement
