Publishing on timescaledb.org — metrics, brief and price

Traffic in the index is under 2,000 monthly visits for this listing, so treat it as profile filler: useful in a mix, indefensible as a centrepiece at $35.

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.

Within the Technology section of the index — 53 listings, 41 median DA, 15.5k median traffic, $40 median price — this placement is 12% below the median on cost and roughly 22% of the index median on audience. Listings in that section range from $30 at the cheap end, so the question is not whether $35 is high for a link, but whether it is high for this one.

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 1.2k monthly visits cannot survive publishing filler, so write for their reader first and your anchor second.

Our observation on this host is do-follow outbound links in editorial content. That is the attribute, not the value: the 38 DA and 1.2k monthly visits are what the attribute is attached to.

Two comparisons decide whether timescaledb.org at $35 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.

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, 37 PA, 49 DR, 1,200 visits, $35, do-follow — is measured, dated September 2026, and available to you before you commit.

timescaledb.org out-ranks 16% of the index on audience size (roughly 22% of the index median) and 36% on authority. The placement costs $29.17 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 30-39. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $35 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Founders building a personal search presence alongside the company site.
• Migration and platform pages that compete on comparison terms.
• Agencies selling technical work who need proof of specialism, not proof of volume.
• 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 38 DA placement on a Technology site is a start, not a strategy.
• 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: a tutorial that a reader can finish in an afternoon and verify. 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.

• 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.
• Keep the tone flat No superlatives, no promises about outcomes, no invented before-and-after. The style that survives editorial review in Technology is the style that sounds like someone reporting on their own work.
• 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

• a product-name anchor only in the bio or a final 'tools mentioned' line
• two links maximum, one of them to a reference outside your own domain

• 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.
• Ownership. Several of the listings in our index turn out to share a publisher or an ad network. Relevance does not multiply when five links come from one hand, so we check the footer, the registration and the ad slots.
• Editorial activity. A site with 1.2k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.
• What happens on removal. timescaledb.org 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 timescaledb.org 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 timescaledb.org'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.

What comes with this placement

• Anchor and target page exactly as approved in the brief, or the placement is not counted.
• Link attribute verified on the published page and reported as found.
• 12-month replacement cover: if the link drops, we rebuild it.
• One contextual placement inside an article written for timescaledb.org's audience, not a link directory entry.
