233 sites from €42 excl. VAT: median authority 31, median traffic 609 visits per month. Dofollow links, secure payment, guaranteed publication.
Slovakia's news and media sector gives you access to a small but engaged national audience and to publishers that Google treats as topical authorities. LinkBooster currently lists 233 Slovak sites in this category, with prices that suit both modest tests and larger campaigns. Here is how to pick the right ones and budget sensibly.
A link from a news or media site carries editorial context: it sits among current articles, is crawled often and is read by people who trust the outlet. For a brand targeting Slovak-speaking users, this local relevance sends a clear geographic and linguistic signal, which is hard to get from generic international sites. If you want the wider picture of the market, see our overview of backlinks and sponsored articles in Slovakia.
News and press sites also suit many types of content: product launches, studies, company announcements, event coverage or expert commentary. The more your article reads like real information rather than an advert, the better it fits the publication and the longer it tends to stay live.
The catalogue is broad. By authority, 78 sites sit between 0 and 19, 35 between 20 and 29, 37 between 30 and 39, 41 between 40 and 59, and 42 at 60 or above. The median authority is 31, and 52% of sites reach 30 or more. Median organic traffic is 609 visits per month, so many titles are regional or niche rather than national giants, which is normal for a market of this size.
Nearly all links are dofollow (95%), but do not stop at that figure. A dofollow link on a site with no real readers or an erratic topic mix is worth less than a well-placed link on a smaller but genuine outlet. To understand how the different scores relate, read which SEO metrics actually matter.
Prices, with the article included and excluding VAT, start at 42 €. The median is 282 €, and the strongest 10% of sites start at 1527 €. A sensible approach is to mix levels: a few affordable placements on mid-authority sites to build a natural profile, and one or two premium publications for your key pages. For a deeper look at valuation, our guide on 2026 backlink prices explains what drives cost.
When filtering, check four things: topical fit with your offer, real organic traffic rather than authority alone, the language of the site's audience, and the quality of neighbouring articles. If your business also touches related areas, you can explore business backlinks in Slovakia or finance backlinks in Slovakia to diversify.
Compare the same category in other markets too, for instance news and media backlinks in Poland, if you plan a regional campaign.
The most common error is chasing the lowest price without checking the site: thin content, unnatural outbound links and sudden topic changes are warning signs, detailed in our article on spotting PBNs and link farms. Another is over-optimising anchors; vary them between brand, URL and descriptive phrases.
Finally, do not publish a promotional text in a news context. Write something a journalist or reader would find useful, link only where it adds value, and spread placements over time. The step-by-step buying guide covers the full process.
