readblogs.co.uk: a contextual link, and whether it is worth $70

42 DA is a respectable, unglamorous middle band: the links that make a profile look normal rather than lucky.

Generalist inventory also varies more than any other kind, which is why the numbers in this brief matter more than the label. A 42 DA domain with 8.4k 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.

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 — 42 DA, 37 PA, 48 DR, 8,400 visits, $70, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

Where readblogs.co.uk 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.

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 readblogs.co.uk at $70 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.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 8,400 estimated visits a month, $70 per placement, so $8.33 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 42 DA and 37 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.

readblogs.co.uk out-ranks 60% of the index on audience size (about 1.5× the index median) and 70% on authority. The placement costs $8.33 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 40-49. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $70 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• Do not buy this if the site's topical distance from your market needs three paragraphs of explanation. Relevance has to be obvious to a crawler reading the neighbourhood.
• 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 data note built from something you have measured. 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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 brand or URL anchor in the first half, and nothing else
• if you already have links from similar sites, vary the anchor shape entirely

• What happens on removal. readblogs.co.uk 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.
• 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:readblogs.co.uk 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.
• 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 readblogs.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 42 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 readblogs.co.uk'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
