396 sites from €30 excl. VAT: median authority 35, median traffic 649 visits per month. Dofollow links, secure payment, guaranteed publication.
India's gaming and entertainment scene is one of the busiest online niches in the world, covering mobile games, esports, streaming, film and pop culture. This page lists 396 Indian sites in the topic that accept sponsored articles with a link. Below you will find how to pick the right ones, what to budget and which mistakes to avoid.
A link from a relevant Indian publication tells search engines that your brand belongs in the local conversation. This matters for game studios, app publishers, streaming services, ticketing platforms, gaming hardware shops and content creators who want to reach Indian audiences, whether in English or in regional languages.
The niche is also useful beyond India. Relevant editorial links strengthen your overall profile, and they can support referral visits from readers who already like games and entertainment. If you plan to expand to other markets, our guide to international SEO and backlinks explains how to balance links across countries.
Out of 396 sites, the median authority is 35 and 51% reach an authority of 30 or more. By authority band, 139 sites sit between 0 and 19, 54 between 20 and 29, 50 between 30 and 39, 122 between 40 and 59, and 31 at 60 or above. The mid-to-high range is therefore well stocked, which is not always the case in smaller niches.
The median site receives 649 organic visits per month, a reasonable signal that the audience is real rather than purely artificial. Some 98% of the links are dofollow, so most placements pass authority as expected. Keep in mind that metrics differ between tools; our article on Trust Flow, Domain Authority and DR helps you read them without over-trusting any single number.
Prices, with the article included and excluding VAT, start at 30 €. The median is 120 €, and the top 10% most powerful sites start at 576 €. A sensible approach for most campaigns is to stay around the median and mix a few stronger placements with several mid-range ones, rather than spending everything on one prestigious site. For a broader view of what a link should cost, see 2026 backlink prices and link value or the pricing page.
When filtering, check topical fit first: a piece on mobile gaming belongs on a gaming or tech-leaning site, not on a general directory. Then look at authority, organic traffic, the language of the audience and whether the site publishes real editorial content. If your offer also touches adjacent themes, browse sports and fitness sites in India or tech and IT sites in India.
The most common error is chasing the cheapest placements. Sites with very low authority and no traffic often exist only to sell links, so learn to spot PBNs and link farms before ordering. Another mistake is repeating the same exact-match anchor; vary anchors and read about anchor text distribution first.
Finally, write for readers. A useful review, a market analysis or an esports feature that fits the site's tone will perform better than a thin advertorial. If you are new to the process, how LinkBooster works explains ordering step by step.

The median authority is 35, and 51% of sites score 30 or more. A mix of sites around 30 to 59 usually gives a good balance between cost and impact, but relevance and real traffic matter just as much.
