Publishing on openpr.com — metrics, brief and price

At 71 DA, the practical constraint is not price, it is whether your article is good enough to survive a real editor.

Editors in this category will accept a link to your resource if the resource is genuinely the subject of a sentence. That is the whole test: if the sentence still works with the link removed, the link probably will not.

Within the Business section of the index — 35 listings, 53 median DA, 4.9k median traffic, $35 median price — this placement is 229% above the median on cost and about 12.7× the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $20 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $115 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

Business titles are the most forgiving category for a contribution with a link in it, and therefore the most crowded. Standing out is a structural problem rather than a writing one: an article that opens with a specific number, a named process or a decision gets read, and specific things get cited by other writers. Business content that opens with a general observation gets nothing.

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 openpr.com at $115 is a good buy: this listing against the 35 other Business 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.

openpr.com has 79 DR against an index median of 51, 70k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $115 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.

openpr.com out-ranks 93% of the index on audience size (about 12.7× the index median) and 99% on authority. The placement costs $1.64 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 70+. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $115 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Local professional firms where the link plus a branded search result is the point.
• B2B services and consultancies whose prospects research before contacting.
• Agencies that need topical relevance in a specific vertical.
• 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 as part of a burst. 10–16 days is the delivery window for one placement; a month's worth of placements across several hosts is the pattern that works.

Pitch angle: an operations write-up: what you changed and what it cost. That is the shape we take to a Business audience, because it is the version the host's own editor has a reason to keep.

• Keep the tone flat No superlatives, no promises about outcomes, no invented before-and-after. The style that survives editorial review in Business is the style that sounds like someone reporting on their own work.
• Name a real author A person with a title and a bio. Anonymous contributions on Business sites are the first thing an editor distrusts, and the first thing a reader discounts.
• 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.

Anchor plan for this host

• one contextual anchor naming the practice, not the product
• brand anchor in the author bio, once

• 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. openpr.com 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.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 71 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• Neighbour content on the same section. The twelve articles around yours set the context search engines will use to judge the link. If they are all sponsored posts on unrelated topics, the slot is worth less than the price says.

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 openpr.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 71 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 openpr.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.
