THE FINDING

Most of the market is invisible.

Their median price: EUR 34 per article. Few platforms list them, few advertisers find them. They survive at the bottom without ever breaking through.

THE STORY

Why this study.

Mathieu, founder of LinkQuiver

I wanted to answer a simple question: do SEO metrics really influence article selling prices?

I scraped 113,135 sites listed on the main netlinking platforms. For each site, I cross-referenced TF, DA, DR, Referring Domains, organic traffic, ranking keywords, and the average sponsored article price.

The results were sharper than I expected. RDs alone are not enough.
