Guest post on pctechmag.com: the site brief

Premium pricing at $85, which we only recommend when the article you place would have been published anyway.

General-interest publications are the workhorses of a link profile and the easiest place to overpay. The article shape that works is boringly specific: a problem, the method used, what happened, what it cost. A general title with 9k monthly visits survives because it answers questions well, not because it loves contributors, so a piece with nothing verifiable in it gets edited down to a bio link.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 9,000 estimated visits a month, $85 per placement, so $9.44 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 57 DA and 50 PA. Snapshot September 2026; availability and the exact link attribute are confirmed on the live URL before an invoice, which is the only part of this page that changes week to week.

Where pctechmag.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 57 DA and 9k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether pctechmag.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, pctechmag.com sits in the top 61% for audience and the top 93% for authority, at $9.44 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 50-59 band (302 listings) that price ranks 145th for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

pctechmag.com out-ranks 61% of the index on audience size (about 1.6× the index median) and 93% on authority. The placement costs $9.44 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 50-59. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $85 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• New domains that need a plausible first set of citations before anything ambitious.
• Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• 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 your profile has no branded searches yet and this is meant to be the single link that changes that. One 57 DA placement on a General site is a start, not a strategy.

Pitch angle: a practical guide that solves one named problem for your market. 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.

• Keep the tone flat No superlatives, no promises about outcomes, no invented before-and-after. The style that survives editorial review in General is the style that sounds like someone reporting on their own work.
• Send the anchor text in the draft Not afterwards. Once the editor has set the copy, changing the anchor is a new request and a new reason for the link to end up in a bio block.
• 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

• one brand or URL anchor in the first half, and nothing else
• no two anchors to the same target page from one article

• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:pctechmag.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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 57 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.

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 pctechmag.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 57 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 pctechmag.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.
