At 48 DA, judge the placement on the page and the neighbours, not on the score.
News sites are the hardest place to earn a body link and the easiest place to earn a mention. Editorial staff strip links from contributions more often than any other publisher type, and the ones that survive are the links that carry a source, a figure or a document a reader might want. Build the piece around something citable and a link stops looking like a favour.
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 — 48 DA, 38 PA, 38 DR, 5,700 visits, $40, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.
Titles in this group are usually run by small teams with high volume, so turnaround depends on their queue rather than on your brief. A short, tightly edited 700-900 word contribution with one link and a named author clears desks that would reject a 2,000-word marketing essay with four.
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.
