selmantech.co.uk: a contextual link, and whether it is worth $60

Mid-market at $60: the band where judgement about the site matters more than the invoice.

Generalist inventory also varies more than any other kind, which is why the numbers in this brief matter more than the label. A 36 DA domain with 1k 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.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 1,000 estimated visits a month, $60 per placement, so $60 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 36 DA and 34 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 selmantech.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 selmantech.co.uk at $60 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.

selmantech.co.uk has 55 DR against an index median of 51, 1k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $60 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.

selmantech.co.uk out-ranks 5% of the index on audience size (roughly 18% of the index median) and 21% on authority. The placement costs $60 per thousand estimated visits, and one of the pricier placements in its DA 30-39 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $60 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.
• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• 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 36 DA placement on a General site is a start, not a strategy.

Pitch angle: a local or regional piece with detail a generalist cannot fake. 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.
• Open with the thing you know One specific claim, a number or a dated decision, in the first two sentences. Editors in General positions decide whether to keep a contribution in about that long.
• 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

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

• What happens on removal. selmantech.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.
• 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.
• Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 36 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• 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.

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 selmantech.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 36 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 selmantech.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.

Rates on this kind of listing drift with the host's own demand, so $60 is a current figure rather than a locked one. Volume changes the maths: a second placement on the same domain is usually refused, whereas a second placement across the General section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.

What comes with this placement

• The article itself, drafted to the host's style and edited before submission.
• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
• Live-URL verification, with a dated record of the placement.
• One contextual placement inside an article written for selmantech.co.uk's audience, not a link directory entry.
