Whilst fiddling with my own media pack I got very involved with digging deeply into my domain analytics via Moz's Free SEO Tools. If you haven't discovered these yet, they are well worth a look and can give you some useful insights into your website, who is linking to it and how it is seen in terms of ranking and spam rating.
As an exercise in determining what needed to be improved on my own site I started to look at some other sites in my niche, equestrian media, and adding them to a table which I could sort by domain authority or page authority.
I hope this might be a useful resource for companies looking to work with well ranked sites and blogs (influencers if you like) for advertising and marketing.
The table below was accurate at the time of publication on Sunday 17th September 2017. I will try to update it regularly to keep it relevant but if you want a bang-up-to-date authority figure for any domain use the Moz link above and type in the domain to scrutinise.
A few caveats:

I am an equine photographer, website designer and hosting provider living in Lincolnshire.
I work with clients who are sole traders and others which are FTSE companies. They are equally important to me.
If you need commercial photography, editorial photography, event photography, lifestyle, equestrian or wedding photography, then I can help you, with over 30 years experience in these areas.
I also teach photography. I mentor photographers with a range of experience, from beginners to working professionals and run an equine photography course which gives members access to articles about the business of equestrian photography.
I have a varied set of skills, having worked for well known web design, SEO and analytics companies in parallel to my photography.
I design, host and maintain websites for clients as varied as farms, interior designers and equestrian centres, as well as for bloggers and sportspeople, including many riders.
I am the Public Relations Officer for the Midlands Area Point-to-Point Association, a role which utilises my PR and social media skills to promote horse racing both online and in the National press.
If you think that I could be the right person to help you, whatever your project, then please get in touch and we can discuss what you need and the ways in which I can help.
