Games and entertainment is one of the most active niches in the US web, covering video game coverage, streaming culture, esports, film, music and online communities. LinkBooster lists 1752 US sites in this category, which gives link builders plenty of room to choose by authority, audience and budget. Here is how to read the numbers and pick the right placements.
Entertainment is a crowded, fast-moving field. Studios, indie developers, gaming gear shops, streaming tools and fan sites all compete for the same searches, and many of those searches are driven by launches, reviews and trends. Backlinks from relevant US publications signal that your page is worth citing, and they bring referral visitors who are already interested in the topic.
A US-based link also helps when your audience is American. Search engines read the publishing country, the language and the surrounding content as cues about who a page is for. If you sell to players in the States, a placement on a local site is usually more useful than a random foreign one. If you are expanding abroad, our guide to international SEO and backlinks explains how to balance several countries.
The median authority of these sites is 47 (DR, or DA when DR is unavailable), and 59% of them score 30 or higher. By authority band, 616 sites sit at 0–19, 103 at 20–29, 178 at 30–39, 667 at 40–59 and 188 at 60 or more. In other words, the bulk of the catalog is either entry-level or solidly mid-range, with a meaningful group of strong sites at the top.
The median organic traffic is 1256 visits per month, and 97% of links are dofollow. Prices include the article and exclude VAT: they start at 30 €, the median is 238 €, and the top 10% most powerful sites start at 999 €.

Start with topical fit. A review of a strategy game belongs on a site that covers games, not on a general directory. Check that the site publishes real articles, has a genuine audience and shows traffic that matches its authority. A high score with almost no visits is a warning sign. Our comparison of SEO metrics such as Trust Flow, DA and DR helps you weigh these signals.
Mix your sources. A few 40–59 sites with steady traffic often deliver better value than one expensive placement, while a handful of 60+ sites can lend weight to a key page. Vary your anchor texts too, and keep most of them natural or branded. The guide on anchor text distribution covers the balance in detail.
Finally, choose the format. A sponsored article lets you control the angle, while a guest post leans on editorial standards. If you are unsure, see sponsored content versus guest posting.
The most common mistake is buying on price alone. Very cheap links from sites with no audience or an odd mix of topics can be a sign of a link farm, so learn how to spot PBNs and low-quality sellers before you order. Another error is pointing every link at the home page; spread them across guides, product pages and news pieces.
