Guest post on srakariresults.com: the site brief

A 38 DA listing at $25 is the price of an experiment: if the article earns citations, you have found a channel; if not, you have lost one invoice.

Anything that reads like a course advertisement gets cut. Write the advice first, and let the institution's name appear once in context. Where the host is affiliated with a college or university, expect the editor to ask whether the contribution has an academic or professional author; a named lecturer with one line of credentials passes what a content writer cannot.

Within the Education section of the index — 30 listings, 54 median DA, 3.1k median traffic, $40 median price — this placement is 38% below the median on cost and in line with the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $20 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $25 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

Educational publications keep their pages for years, which is the main reason to place here: a genuinely useful admissions or study guide is consulted on the same dates every academic year, so a link inside it keeps being crawled long after a news article would have decayed. It also means the bar is set by the site's own reference-style content, and a thin promotional contribution stands out badly.

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 srakariresults.com at $25 is a good buy: this listing against the 30 other Education 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: 4,184 estimated visits a month, $25 per placement, so $5.98 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 38 DA and 31 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.

srakariresults.com out-ranks 43% of the index on audience size (in line with the index median) and 36% on authority. The placement costs $5.98 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 72% of the DA 30-39 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $25 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Campus-adjacent services: accommodation, lending, relocation.
• EdTech and course providers selling to institutions rather than impulse buyers.
• Universities, colleges and sixth forms needing reference-style citations.
• Do not buy this as part of a burst. 3–6 days is the delivery window for one placement; a month's worth of placements across several hosts is the pattern that works.
• 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.

Pitch angle: an institutional process described plainly (accreditation, transfer credit, safeguarding). That is the shape we take to a Education audience, because it is the version the host's own editor has a reason to keep.

• 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.
• 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.
• Open with the thing you know One specific claim, a number or a dated decision, in the first two sentences. Editors in Education positions decide whether to keep a contribution in about that long.

Anchor plan for this host

• the institution name in the author line
• no enrolment or fee keywords in the anchor; they trip both editors and filters

• 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.
• 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.
• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:srakariresults.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.
• 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 srakariresults.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 38 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 srakariresults.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.

The quoted $25 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

• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
• Live-URL verification, with a dated record of the placement.
