What this directory is for
Buying a guest post usually starts with a spreadsheet of domains and two numbers beside each one. That is enough to sort a list, but not enough to decide where your brand should appear. A domain authority score says nothing about who reads the site, whether it still publishes, or whether your article would look at home on it.
This directory is built for the people who make that decision: SEO teams, agencies and founders placing articles for their own businesses. Each publisher is researched before it is listed, from its own pages and from named sources, and the profile sets out what we found. The numbers are there too, collected on a stated date and never padded with estimates. When a site looks right, you ask us for the current rate. More about how Matlabii News works.
Everything you need to judge a publisher
The site, explained
Its subject and audience, what it publishes, who owns it and how it makes money, written from the site's own pages and named sources, with links to the key ones.
How to use itTwo authority models
Moz DA beside Ahrefs DR. Where the two readings disagree or mislead, the profile says why for that particular site.
Metrics explainedReal reach
Semrush traffic and ranking keywords next to the scores, with visits per keyword worked out for you.
Compare reachRecords from the domain
Registration and expiry dates from the registry, the registrar, how robots.txt treats AI crawlers and what the sitemaps declare. Read off the domain, not supplied by the publisher.

Judging a publisher in five minutes
- Read the last ten posts. If your article would stand out as the odd one, keep looking.
- Put DA and DR side by side. Agreement between two independent link indexes is reassuring; a wide gap needs explaining.
- Divide traffic by keywords. It shows whether visitors come from many searches or a few, and reminds you the estimate only counts search visits.
- Check the registry dates. A name much older than the site on it deserves a look at what was there before.
- Ask how the post will be labelled and which attribute its link will carry, before any money moves.
The full guide covers each step in detail, with the red flags that should end a conversation.
Paid placements and the search engines
Paying for an article is not against the rules on its own. What Google's spam policies target is a paid link that passes ranking credit, which is why they ask for paid links to carry rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow". They also target third-party pages placed on a strong site mainly to borrow its ranking signals. Bing's guidelines go further and name link buying as manipulation, with no mention of those attributes. Readers are covered by a separate rule: in the US, the FTC expects paid content to be disclosed clearly where people will see it.
We set these rules side by side, quoted from each source, in paid guest posts: what Google, Bing, YouTube and the FTC actually require.
Three rules every listing follows
Measured, or marked N/A
A field a source did not return reads N/A. No zero and no borrowed estimate takes its place.
Written for that site only
No profile is a template with the name swapped. Every profile is checked against every other before it goes live, and rewritten if two read alike.
Dated
Each profile shows when its sources were read and when its numbers were collected, so you know how fresh a figure is before relying on it.
Questions
What is a guest post directory?
A list of publishers that accept articles from outside writers, usually for a fee, with the data you need to compare them. This one adds a researched profile for every publisher, so you can see what a site is and how it works before you look at its scores.
Are paid guest posts against Google's rules?
Not in themselves. Google treats paid links that pass ranking credit as link spam, and accepts paid links marked with rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow". Bing's guidelines list link buying as a violation and do not mention those attributes. Our article on the paid placement rules quotes both.
Which publishers does the directory list?
Publishers that accept articles from outside writers. Each one is researched before its profile goes live, so the directory grows as profiles are completed, and every profile shows the date it was reviewed.
Why do some figures read N/A?
The source returned nothing for that site. We never put a zero or an estimate from another tool in its place, because "none" and "unknown" are different findings.
How much does a guest post cost?
It depends on the publisher, the topic and the type of placement, so rates are not published. Tell us which site you are interested in and we will reply with current pricing.
