Guest post on techreels.co.uk: the site brief

Mid-market at $70: the band where judgement about the site matters more than the invoice.

The commercial value here is different from a general blog: a link from a technology title is usually read by people who will mention it somewhere else. That is why an article with a real number in it keeps returning value a year later, while a listicle about trends dies in the archive. Give the editor something they can cite.

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 — 30 DA, 28 PA, 50 DR, 12,000 visits, $70, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

Expect editorial standards to be enforced on the structure as well as the tone: no thin affiliate comparisons, no recycled press copy, links that go somewhere the reader needs rather than somewhere you want. Sites with 12k monthly visits cannot survive publishing filler, so write for their reader first and your anchor second.

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 techreels.co.uk at $70 is a good buy: this listing against the 53 other Technology 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.

techreels.co.uk has 50 DR against an index median of 51, 12k monthly visits against a median of 5.5k, and a placement price of $70 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.

techreels.co.uk out-ranks 68% of the index on audience size (about 2.2× the index median) and 2% on authority. The placement costs $5.83 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 $70 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Agencies selling technical work who need proof of specialism, not proof of volume.
• Founders building a personal search presence alongside the company site.
• SaaS and dev-tool companies whose buyers shortlist from articles they half-remember.
• 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 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.

Pitch angle: a data note on usage patterns, priced from public sources. That is the shape we take to a Technology audience, because it is the version the host's own editor has a reason to keep.

• Include one thing nobody else has A table, a chart, a worked example, a photograph you took. This is what earns the citations that make the $70 look cheap a year later.
• Open with the thing you know One specific claim, a number or a dated decision, in the first two sentences. Editors in Technology positions decide whether to keep a contribution in about that long.
• 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

• two links maximum, one of them to a reference outside your own domain
• a descriptive anchor naming the technique, pointing at the page that explains that technique

• 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.
• 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 30 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• 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.

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 techreels.co.uk Publisher slots move week to week, including on 30 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 techreels.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.

The quoted $70 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

• Availability confirmed on the exact URL before you are invoiced.
• Link attribute verified on the published page and reported as found.
• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
• Live-URL verification, with a dated record of the placement.
