India has one of the largest and fastest-growing online news ecosystems in the world, spanning national outlets, regional publishers and niche digital magazines. On this page you can browse 1631 news and media sites published in India and compare them by authority, traffic and price. Here is how to read the numbers and choose a placement that fits your goals.
A link from a news or media site tells search engines that your brand is mentioned in an editorial context, which is why this category is so popular for building credibility. For brands targeting Indian audiences, a placement on a locally published site also reinforces geographic relevance and can bring qualified referral visits, especially when the article is tied to a current topic.
News sites suit announcements, studies, product launches, event coverage and expert commentary. If your content is more evergreen or commercial, a neighbouring theme may be a better match, such as business and entrepreneurship sites in India or tech and IT sites in India.

The median authority of the sites listed is 49 (DR, or DA when DR is unavailable), and 64% of them score 30 or more. By authority band, 447 sites sit between 0 and 19, 142 between 20 and 29, 141 between 30 and 39, 758 between 40 and 59, and 143 at 60 or above. The 40–59 band is by far the largest, which gives you plenty of solid mid-range options.
Median organic traffic is 210 visits per month, a reminder that authority and audience do not always go together. Some sites with a strong profile receive modest traffic, so check both figures. Finally, 98% of the links are dofollow, so you can expect most placements to pass link equity. To understand how these metrics compare, our guide on Trust Flow, Domain Authority and DR is a useful companion.
Prices, article included and excluding VAT, start at 27 €. The median is 134 €, and the top 10% most powerful sites start at 500 €. A sensible approach is to spread your budget across several mid-range sites rather than concentrating it on a single premium placement. For a deeper look at valuation, read how to estimate what a backlink is worth.
When shortlisting, check that the site's topics are coherent, that its content is written in the language of your target readers, that it has real traffic and that it publishes genuine editorial content rather than only sponsored posts. If you are unsure about a publisher, this guide to spotting PBNs and link farms explains the warning signs.
The most common mistake is choosing on price or authority alone. A cheap link on an irrelevant site rarely helps, and repeating the same exact-match anchor across many articles can look unnatural; our article on anchor text distribution covers the right balance.
Another pitfall is publishing thin, promotional copy. Write something a reader would genuinely find useful, link to a relevant page on your site and keep the tone editorial. If you want to start with a clear process, the step-by-step guide to buying backlinks will help you plan, and LinkBooster lets you filter these sites by authority, traffic and price.

The median is 49, and 64% of sites score 30 or more. A DR between 40 and 59 offers a good balance of credibility and cost, but relevance and real traffic matter just as much.
