DA, DR and traffic come from our own index snapshot (September 2026) and are recalculated when a slot is booked; PA is our internal page-level score for the host's contributor templates, not a third-party metric. Prices are per placement in USD and move with publisher availability. Nothing here is a statement from soldmagazine.co.uk or an assurance of rankings — link building improves your inputs, not search engines’ outputs.

The placement

What you are buying on soldmagazine.co.uk

At 18k visits a month, expect the article to be found by search rather than by the site's own readers, which makes the durability of the page the thing to scrutinise.

Where soldmagazine.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.

Within the General section of the index — 1,576 listings, 39 median DA, 5k median traffic, $70 median price — this placement is 7% above the median on cost and about 3.3× the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $30 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $75 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

Generalist inventory also varies more than any other kind, which is why the numbers in this brief matter more than the label. A 38 DA domain with 18k estimated monthly visits and Mixed / stated at order 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 link attribute on this property is recorded as stated at order: some sections follow, some do not. We check the specific URL before you commit, and if the page turns out to be nofollowed we tell you before invoicing.

In context

Reading soldmagazine.co.uk's metrics against the market

Two comparisons decide whether soldmagazine.co.uk at $75 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 — 38 DA, 38 PA, 53 DR, 18,000 visits, $75, mixed / stated at order — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

soldmagazine.co.uk out-ranks 75% of the index on audience size (about 3.3× the index median) and 36% on authority. The placement costs $4.17 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 78% of the DA 30-39 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $75 is a good trade or just a listed one.

Suitability

Who should place here

  • 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 you need the anchor to be your money keyword and the host is marked Mixed / stated at order. 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. 7–12 days is the delivery window for one placement; a month's worth of placements across several hosts is the pattern that works.
Content brief

The content shape that survives this desk

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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Write 900–1,300 words Long enough to be worth crawling and citing, short enough that a real desk will read all of it. Anything longer gets skimmed and trimmed, and trimming is where links go.

Anchor plan for this host

  • a descriptive anchor that repeats a phrase the article already uses naturally
  • no two anchors to the same target page from one article
Pre-order checks

Verify these before the invoice

  • 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.
  • Anchor history. We pull the anchors other sites have bought there. If the last twenty were all money phrases, a brand anchor from you will look natural, which is the rare and useful direction.
  • 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.
  • Whether the exact placement URL is indexable. A 38 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.

Pricing

Cost, and what moves it

The quoted $75 is our standard rate for this listing at the time of the September 2026 snapshot. Two things move it: whether the host still has contributor capacity that month, and whether the slot you want is a standalone article or a paragraph inside an existing page (niche edits on the same property are typically cheaper and faster).

What comes with this placement

  • The article itself, drafted to the host's style and edited before submission.
  • Link attribute verified on the published page and reported as found.
  • White-label PDF + CSV report — forward it to a client unchanged.
  • 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
FAQ

Questions about a soldmagazine.co.uk placement

Compare it with the market rather than the label. In our index the median general listing is priced at $70 with a median DA of 39 and median traffic of 5k, which puts soldmagazine.co.uk 7% above the median and about 3.3× the index median. If the article you place there is specific enough to be cited by someone else, you have bought an asset. If it is filler, you have bought 38 points of something nobody reads.

By the tests we run, no: 18k estimated monthly visits, a 38 DA score and 53 DR are not the shape of a network built to sell links, and the site's own publishing activity is visible. What we cannot certify is what happens after our snapshot — a site can be sold, a section can be converted into a link shop, a CMS migration can drop a page. That is why the live URL is re-checked before delivery and why the replacement cover exists.

DA 38 describes the domain. The PA figure here (38) is our own page-level score for the templates that would carry your placement: how deep the site links them, how much of the domain's crawl budget and internal weight reaches them, how old and how referenced they are. A site can hold 38 DA while its contributor template scores 38, and it is the template that your link sits in.

Rebuilt and re-reported, under the same 12-month cover as every placement in the index. Links drop for boring reasons — redesigns, content pruning, a host losing interest in contributor content — and soldmagazine.co.uk is no more immune than a 38 DA site usually is. We monitor rather than waiting for you to notice.

Where the host asks for it, yes, and we would rather you knew that in advance than found it on the published page. A disclosure label has not cost any client of ours a placement's value; an undisclosed one that gets quietly removed has cost several.

The index median across all 2,000 listings is $70, so this listing is 7% above the median. Against the General median of $70 it is around the going rate for its category. Fair is a function of durability and audience rather than of the average, but if you want to argue about the number, those are the two comparisons worth arguing from.
