News & Media backlinks

62,630 sites from €26 excl. VAT: median authority 35, median traffic 274 visits per month. Dofollow links, secure payment, guaranteed publication.

News and media sites are among the most sought-after placements in link building, because a mention on a recognised publication carries credibility that few other categories can match. This page lists 62370 sites in the Actualités & Presse theme, across all countries, with transparent metrics so you can compare options before you commit. Here is how to use them well, what to budget and which mistakes to avoid.

Why backlinks from news and media sites matter

Press and news domains tend to be crawled often, to attract a broad readership and to earn editorial links from other sites. A link from such a source passes strong authority signals and can also bring referral visits, brand exposure and the kind of third-party mention that search engines and AI assistants increasingly rely on to judge a brand's reputation.

The category suits many goals: launching a product, supporting a PR announcement, building trust for a young brand or diversifying a profile that leans too heavily on niche blogs. If your topic is more specialised, compare it with neighbouring themes such as Business & Entrepreneurship backlinks or Finance & Investing backlinks, where the audience may be closer to your offer.

What the numbers say about this category

The median authority on this page is 68 (DR, or DA when DR is not available), and every listed site reaches at least 30. Among the sites with an authority breakdown, 1232 fall in the 40–59 range and 3768 sit at 60 or above, so the pool is strong overall. The median organic traffic is 8646 visits per month, and 68% of links are dofollow, which means about a third are not: check the attribute before ordering if passing link equity is your priority.

Prices reflect this quality. Articles start at 36 € excluding VAT, article included, while the median is 590 €. The top 10% most powerful sites start at 5346 €. For a realistic view of what a link is worth, read our guide on backlink prices and how to estimate link value, and see which SEO metrics actually matter before treating DR or DA as the only criterion.

How to choose the right site and article

Start with relevance and audience. A general news site can host a wide range of subjects, but the article should still make editorial sense: a data-driven piece, an expert opinion or a local angle will read more naturally than a thin promotional text. Then check language and country, since a link from a publication your target market actually reads is worth more than a high metric in the wrong market. You can browse by country, for example France, the United States or the United Kingdom, and the guide to international SEO and backlinks explains how to balance several markets.

Finally, compare traffic with authority. A site with a high DR but almost no organic visits can be a warning sign. Vary your anchor text, keep a natural pace and follow the advice in our anchor text distribution guide. Common mistakes include buying only the cheapest placements, ignoring the nofollow share and concentrating every link on a single page.

Planning your budget and next steps

With a median of 590 €, a small campaign of a few quality placements is a more sensible starting point than a large volume of weak links. If you are new to the process, the complete guide to buying backlinks walks through each step, and how LinkBooster works shows how ordering is organised. Spread your spending over several months to keep the profile natural.
