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

At $30 this is a budget listing; the maths still has to work, and it works when the page is topical and the host is active.

Because these pages are updated, check what an update does to a placement. On aggressive sites the URL persists but content gets rewritten, and your paragraph is the first thing to go. Ask for a written note of the commitment before publishing and take a dated screenshot; ours is in the report.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 2,520 estimated visits a month, $30 per placement, so $11.90 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 55 DA and 48 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.

Travel publishing is affiliate-driven, so a clean editorial link is both easier to negotiate and more valuable than in most categories: readers trust a recommendation that does not earn the site a commission. Editors in this group like contributions with first-hand detail: the price of the bus, the name of the station, the reason the second hotel is better.

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 tourismsections.com at $30 is a good buy: this listing against the 18 other Travel 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.

Ranked against the 2,000 listings we index, tourismsections.com sits in the top 31% for audience and the top 90% for authority, at $11.90 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 50-59 band (302 listings) that price ranks 172nd for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

tourismsections.com out-ranks 31% of the index on audience size (roughly 46% of the index median) and 90% on authority. The placement costs $11.90 per thousand estimated visits, and mid-priced for a site carrying DA 50-59. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $30 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Hotels, tours and operators fighting OTAs for branded demand.
• Travel-tech and booking platforms needing topical relevance beyond review sites.
• Tourism boards and regional businesses with seasonal campaigns.
• 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 if your profile has no branded searches yet and this is meant to be the single link that changes that. One 55 DA placement on a Travel site is a start, not a strategy.

Pitch angle: a seasonality and crowds breakdown with real timings. That is the shape we take to a Travel 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 Travel 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.
• 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.

Anchor plan for this host

• the operator, route or place name as the anchor, in the sentence where it is described
• a booking or pricing page only if the anchor says what it is

• What happens on removal. tourismsections.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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Editorial activity. A site with 2.5k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.

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 tourismsections.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 $30 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 Travel section of our index at the same budget is easy to arrange.
