Every figure, with its source

One row per published figure: the figure as the source's own page publishes it, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

The sentence each figure was read from (13)

Read in full, publishes no figure

86 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

9 of the 95 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 86 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 12 figures, never sentences; 1139 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the median, minimum and maximum published price per link at each DR band (DR20+, DR30+, DR40+, DR50+, DR60+, DR70+) and per link TYPE (guest post, niche edit or link insertion, digital PR placement, journalist-request placement), and the median published monthly retainer per number of placements, across every provider that publishes a figure on its own site - normalised to GBP with the VAT treatment each states, because the market quotes in two currencies and three units; beside it the SHARE of providers that publish a rate at all against those that route to a quote, the minimum order each imposes, the stated turnaround, the replacement or link-rot guarantee, and repriced-since the previous read.

Nobody publishes the spread: each provider publishes only its own rate card, and the surveys publish a single average over a mixed international sample

1139 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
