286 sites from €49 excl. VAT: median authority 41, median traffic 2 k visits per month. Dofollow links, secure payment, guaranteed publication.
Australian news and media sites remain some of the most trusted publishers in the Asia-Pacific region, and a link from one of them can lend real credibility to a brand. This page covers 285 Australian sites in the News & Media category, with prices, authority levels and traffic figures to help you plan a campaign. Here is how to read the numbers and choose well.
Editorial sites carry a natural trust signal: readers expect them to cite sources, and search engines tend to treat links inside news-style content as genuine references. For a business targeting Australian customers, a mention on a local publication also sends a clear geographic signal, which helps when your goal is to rank on local results rather than globally.
These links suit several situations: launching a brand in the market, supporting a product announcement, adding authority to a commercial page, or diversifying a profile that relies too heavily on blogs and directories. If you work across several markets, our guide to international SEO and backlinks explains how to balance country-specific links.
The 285 available sites span a wide range of quality. By authority, 99 sites sit between 0 and 19, 19 between 20 and 29, 62 between 30 and 39, 66 between 40 and 59, and 39 at 60 or above. The median authority is 41, and 59% of sites reach 30 or more, so a majority offers a solid base. Median organic traffic is 1673 visits per month, and 96% of links are dofollow.
Prices follow the same spread. Articles start at 49 €, the median is 624 €, and the top 10% most powerful sites start at 1870 €, all excl. VAT and with the article included. A modest budget can work for testing, but high-authority placements sit in a different price bracket. For a method to judge whether a price is fair, see our article on 2026 backlink prices and link value.
Start with relevance. A news site whose audience matches your sector will bring more value than a higher-authority site with no connection to your topic. Check that the content is written in English for an Australian readership, that the site publishes regularly, and that its traffic is genuine rather than inflated. Authority scores are only a guide; our comparison of SEO metrics explains which ones deserve your attention.
Then think about the article itself. Informative pieces, market commentary or expert opinions integrate better than blatant promotion, and they give the link a context readers might actually follow. If your sector is more specific, you can also browse business backlinks in Australia or finance backlinks in Australia. The full Australian offer shows every category side by side.
The most common error is chasing the lowest price. Very cheap sites with thin content, odd topic mixes or obvious link selling can do more harm than good; learn to spot PBNs and link farms before you buy. Another is repeating the same exact-match anchor text across several articles, which looks unnatural.
Spread your budget over several publishers, vary anchors, and keep a steady rhythm rather than a single burst. On LinkBooster, you can filter by authority, traffic and price to build that mix. For a broader approach, our link building strategy for 2026 is a good next read.
