Guest post on rebecca-angela.com.au: the site brief

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

There is a second job these placements do that is worth naming: they make a young or thin profile look normal. A domain that acquires 45-level links from a spread of ordinary publications, in drips, over months, looks like a business that has been around. A domain that acquires forty links from aggressive networks in a fortnight looks like a campaign, and it is the pattern rather than the individual link that gets noticed.

Within the General section of the index — 1,576 listings, 39 median DA, 5k median traffic, $70 median price — this placement is 21% above the median on cost and about 10.0× the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $30 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $85 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

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 55k 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 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 rebecca-angela.com.au 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.

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 — 45 DA, 41 PA, 49 DR, 55,000 visits, $85, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

rebecca-angela.com.au out-ranks 91% of the index on audience size (about 10.0× the index median) and 77% on authority. The placement costs $1.55 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 89% of the DA 40-49 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $85 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• 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 your profile has no branded searches yet and this is meant to be the single link that changes that. One 45 DA placement on a General site is a start, not a strategy.

Pitch angle: an experience write-up with numbers, dates and decisions. 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.

• 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.
• Put one link in the body Exactly one, in the sentence where the article needs the source. A second link to your own domain is the most common reason a piece gets rewritten before publication.
• 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

• if you already have links from similar sites, vary the anchor shape entirely
• no two anchors to the same target page from one article

• Editorial activity. A site with 55k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:rebecca-angela.com.au 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.
• Template stability. Redesigns and CMS migrations kill placements. We check the age of the site's oldest surviving article as a proxy for how long a page there tends to live.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 45 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 rebecca-angela.com.au Publisher slots move week to week, including on 45 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 rebecca-angela.com.au'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

• Link attribute verified on the published page and reported as found.
• The article itself, drafted to the host's style and edited before submission.
• Anchor and target page exactly as approved in the brief, or the placement is not counted.
• One contextual placement inside an article written for rebecca-angela.com.au's audience, not a link directory entry.
