techspat.com: what a guest post here actually buys you

Premium pricing at $85, which we only recommend when the article you place would have been published anyway.

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 40-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 4.2× 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.

Where techspat.com 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.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 40 DA and 23k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether techspat.com 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 — 40 DA, 40 PA, 60 DR, 23,000 visits, $85, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

techspat.com out-ranks 80% of the index on audience size (about 4.2× the index median) and 52% on authority. The placement costs $3.70 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 72% 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.

• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• Thin profiles where diversity matters more than raw authority.
• 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 40 DA placement on a General site is a start, not a strategy.

Pitch angle: a comparison of two options a reader is choosing between. 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.
• 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.
• 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

• if you already have links from similar sites, vary the anchor shape entirely
• a descriptive anchor that repeats a phrase the article already uses naturally

• Indexation of the host's recent output. We run site:techspat.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.
• 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.
• 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.
• What happens on removal. techspat.com 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.

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 techspat.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 40 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 techspat.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.

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.
