220 sites from €32 excl. VAT: median authority 31, median traffic 1 k visits per month. Dofollow links, secure payment, guaranteed publication.
Turkish news and media sites give brands a way to earn editorial links in a large, fast-moving online market. LinkBooster currently lists 221 sites in this category, from small regional outlets to established publications. This guide explains how to pick among them, what to budget and which mistakes to avoid.
A link from a news or press site carries a topical and geographic signal that general blogs rarely match. If your customers are in Türkiye, a mention on a Turkish-language publication tells search engines which market you serve, and it puts your brand in front of readers who actually live there. It also supports brand awareness, since a well-placed article can be read, shared and quoted independently of its SEO value.
News sites suit announcements, studies, product launches, event coverage and opinion pieces. They are less suited to heavy promotional copy: editors and readers both notice when an article is only an advert. For the wider picture, see our overview of backlinks by topic and country or the page on backlinks and sponsored articles in Türkiye.
Start with authority, but do not stop there. The median authority is 31, and 55% of the sites reach 30 or more. By tier, 49 sites sit at 0–19, 51 at 20–29, 50 at 30–39, 59 at 40–59 and 12 at 60 and above. A site in the 30–59 range is often the sweet spot: solid enough to matter, still affordable. For a deeper look at the numbers, read which SEO metrics actually matter.
Then check real traffic. Median organic traffic is 1,086 visits per month, so a site well above that figure is generally a healthier choice than one with a high score and no audience. Also confirm that the language, the editorial topics and the audience fit your offer. Finally, 94% of the listed links are dofollow, which means most placements can pass authority, though a natural profile still benefits from a few nofollow links.
Prices, article included and excluding VAT, start at €32. The median is €272, and the top 10% most powerful sites start at €892. A realistic approach is to mix a few mid-priced placements with one or two premium ones rather than spending everything on a single site. Our guide to 2026 backlink prices explains how to estimate what a link is worth, and the pricing page details the costs.
If you are comparing formats, sponsored articles on vetted media give you more control over the final text than a simple link insertion. Neighbouring themes can also complement a news campaign, for example business and entrepreneurship backlinks in Türkiye.
The most common error is chasing the cheapest placement. Sites with no audience, mass-produced content or obvious link-selling patterns can do more harm than good; our article on spotting PBNs and link farms shows the warning signs. Repeating the same exact-match anchor is another trap, covered in the guide to anchor text distribution.
Also avoid publishing content that has no connection with the host site, and do not expect immediate results: links build value over weeks. If you target several markets, compare this page with news backlinks in France or in Germany before deciding where to invest.

Mostly. 94% of the listed sites offer dofollow links, though mixing in a few nofollow links keeps a profile natural.
The median authority is 31. Sites between 30 and 59 usually offer a good balance of value and price, provided their organic traffic is real.
