The tuyauplusturf.com placement brief

Mid-market at $60: the band where judgement about the site matters more than the invoice.

General-interest publications are the workhorses of a link profile and the easiest place to overpay. The article shape that works is boringly specific: a problem, the method used, what happened, what it cost. A general title with 1.1k monthly visits survives because it answers questions well, not because it loves contributors, so a piece with nothing verifiable in it gets edited down to a bio link.

The arithmetic a buyer should see: 1,100 estimated visits a month, $60 per placement, so $54.55 per thousand visits for a do-follow link on a site scoring 32 DA and 30 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.

Generalist inventory also varies more than any other kind, which is why the numbers in this brief matter more than the label. A 32 DA domain with 1.1k estimated monthly visits and Do-follow links is a different product from the same DA with a tenth of the traffic, and they are priced too close together in most catalogues.

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 tuyauplusturf.com at $60 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.

Ranked against the 2,000 listings we index, tuyauplusturf.com sits in the top 11% for audience and the top 6% for authority, at $54.55 per thousand monthly visits. Inside the DA 30-39 band (892 listings) that price ranks 741st for value, which is the comparison to use: nobody competes with the whole index, they compete with the sites a buyer would book instead.

tuyauplusturf.com out-ranks 11% of the index on audience size (roughly 20% of the index median) and 6% on authority. The placement costs $54.55 per thousand estimated visits, and one of the pricier placements in its DA 30-39 band. Those two figures, not the DA column alone, decide whether $60 is a good trade or just a listed one.

• Anyone testing guest posting before committing to a premium title.
• Local and service businesses whose market has few specialist publications left.
• Agencies filling a monthly quota with links nobody will object to.
• 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 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 practical guide that solves one named problem for your market. 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.
• Write 900–1,300 words Long enough to be worth crawling and citing, short enough that a real desk will read all of it. Anything longer gets skimmed and trimmed, and trimming is where links go.
• 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.

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

• 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.
• 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 32 DA domain happily serves noindexed contributor pages. We read the robots meta tag on the article template, not on the homepage.
• Editorial activity. A site with 1.1k monthly visits and nothing published in six months is a decaying asset, and decaying assets get dropped from the index in batches.

The quoted $60 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).
