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

Entry price at $20, which is the correct way to buy authority you have not yet verified.

Expect one link in the body plus one in the method or shopping list. Expect the editor to remove the second if the first already carries the brand.

Within the Food & Drink section of the index — 31 listings, 53 median DA, 4.2k median traffic, $40 median price — this placement is 50% 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 $20 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

Food is a category with a very high content bar and a very low tolerance for commercial insertions, because the best-performing pages are pictures and steps. A placement works when your brand is part of the ingredient list, the equipment or the sourcing story; it fails when a restaurant-supply paragraph appears inside a 14-step recipe. Choose the article shape before you choose the site.

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 thestreetfoody.com at $20 is a good buy: this listing against the 31 other Food & Drink 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: 5,424 estimated visits a month, $20 per placement, so $3.69 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 53 DA and 45 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.

thestreetfoody.com out-ranks 50% of the index on audience size (in line with the index median) and 85% on authority. The placement costs $3.69 per thousand estimated visits, and cheaper per visit than 85% of the DA 50-59 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $20 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Food and drink producers who need retail-adjacent citations.
• Restaurants, cafés and venues with a strong local search footprint.
• Delivery and meal-kit brands competing on review-style queries.
• Do not buy this if you need the anchor to be your money keyword and the host is marked Do-follow. 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 if your profile has no branded searches yet and this is meant to be the single link that changes that. One 53 DA placement on a Food & Drink site is a start, not a strategy.

Pitch angle: a product test that names what it would not buy. That is the shape we take to a Food & Drink audience, because it is the version the host's own editor has a reason to keep.

• Open with the thing you know One specific claim, a number or a dated decision, in the first two sentences. Editors in Food & Drink positions decide whether to keep a contribution in about that long.
• Put one link in the body Exactly one, in the sentence where the article needs the source. A second link to your own domain is the most common reason a piece gets rewritten before publication.
• 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 $20 look cheap a year later.

Anchor plan for this host

• the specific product or supplier name inside the shopping line
• no generic recipe anchors; the reader does not need one

• 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 53 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• What happens on removal. thestreetfoody.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.
• Editorial activity. A site with 5.4k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.

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 thestreetfoody.com Publisher slots move week to week, including on 53 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 thestreetfoody.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.

Rates on this kind of listing drift with the host's own demand, so $20 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 Food & Drink section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.

What comes with this placement

• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
• Availability confirmed on the exact URL before you are invoiced.
• Live-URL verification, with a dated record of the placement.
• One contextual placement inside an article written for thestreetfoody.com's audience, not a link directory entry.
