$150 sponsored posts on high-DA sex and BDSM blogs

I have a trio of ancient (pre-2005) sex/porn/erotica and BDSM blogs that have more than 12k combined posts. The best of them was a rare-for-adult PR5 back when page rank was a thing; it now has a domain authority (SEOMoz DA) of 49. The other two (the BDSM ones) were PR4 and now have DA of 41 and 36.

I'm always getting inquiries from SEO folks who want to buy "permanent links" on these blogs. I do sell a few (deliberately, VERY few and expensive) front-page links at a monthly rate on prepaid six-month-minimum terms, but my product for the "permanent link" crowd is a sponsored post. I charge $150 (prepaid) for these and you get to specify your anchor text, your destination link (or two, if they're related, like your front page and an inside link), and any keywords you'd like near/adjacent to the link. I write the posts as closely as possible to match the editorial style of the rest of the posts on the blogs; buyers get to review a draft and give feedback (which I try to address) if they are unhappy, but for that price I don't engage in word-for-word rewrites with buyers. You're buying me blogging about your stuff and using a link that meets your specs; you're not buying me transcribing for you the post you'd like to see on my blogs.

All sponsored posts are identified as such with a small banner at the bottom of the post; these blogs didn't survive this long without treating readers right. For the same reason, your product/link has to be adult-oriented and (for the BDSM blogs) have something of interest to BDSM traffic.

Traffic per blog is a couple of thousand visitors per day this time of year, generating 7-8k page views. This is fundamentally an SEO offering, not a traffic offering, and is priced as such.

I'm not naming the blogs here because GFY has too many trolls and slapheads. But I'm happy to respond to interested parties with full info and links to sponsored posts I've done in the past. Email me!
