News & Media backlinks — Indonesia

488 sites from €29 excl. VAT: median authority 23, median traffic 2 k visits per month. Dofollow links, secure payment, guaranteed publication.

Indonesia has one of Southeast Asia's most active online news ecosystems, and its publishers reach a large, mobile-first audience. This page lists 485 News & Media sites, all with dofollow links, so you can compare prices, authority and traffic before ordering. Here is how to read those figures and choose a site that fits your campaign.

Why backlinks from Indonesian news sites are worth considering

A link from a news or press site sends a clear editorial signal: the page sits in a context of current events, local relevance and regular publishing. For brands that target Indonesian users, this kind of placement supports local visibility and builds a link profile that looks natural, especially next to links from niche blogs. It also suits launches, announcements, studies and sponsored interviews, which fit the news format well.

If you also work in other markets, a country-by-country approach is helpful. The international SEO and backlinks guide explains how to balance links across regions, and you can compare this market with News & Media backlinks in the United Kingdom or in Germany.

What the numbers say about this market

Prices start at €29 (excluding VAT, article included), with a median of €199. The top 10% of sites by strength start at €438. The median authority is 23 and the median organic traffic is 2,443 visits per month. Only 27% of sites reach an authority of 30 or more, so the market leans toward modest domains, with a handful of strong ones.

By authority band, 295 sites sit at 0–19, 61 at 20–29, 40 at 30–39, 56 at 40–59 and 33 at 60 and above. Entry-level sites suit tests or tightly local campaigns. If you need more weight, filter for 40 and above and expect to pay closer to the upper price range. To understand how these indicators relate to one another, read the guide to SEO metrics.

How to choose the right site and article

Do not rely on authority alone. Check that the site publishes in the language of your audience, that its traffic looks real and that its topics are consistent. A news site that suddenly publishes casino or loan content has weaker value. The article about spotting PBNs and link farms lists the warning signs worth checking before you pay.

Match the content to the context. A sponsored article should be informative, tied to a real event or insight, and include a link that serves the reader. If your offer is specialised, a neighbouring category may fit better, such as Business & Entrepreneurship in Indonesia or Tech & IT in Indonesia.

Mistakes to avoid and how to plan a budget

The most common mistake is buying many cheap links with the same anchor text. Vary your anchors, mix branded and descriptive wording and spread orders over time; the anchor text distribution guide explains how. Another mistake is ignoring relevance in favour of a high metric.

For a first campaign, a few placements around the median price of €199 usually give more useful data than one expensive link. You can then raise the budget on the sites that perform. For an overview of all topics in this country, see backlinks and sponsored articles in Indonesia.
