Sports and fitness is one of the most active niches online in the Netherlands, from cycling and football to running, gyms and home workouts. On this page you will find 585 Dutch sites open to sponsored articles, with 99% of links being dofollow. Here is how to read the numbers, pick the right publishers and set a realistic budget.
Dutch sports searches are competitive: webshops selling gear, coaching platforms, gyms, event organisers and nutrition brands all fight for the same queries. A link placed in a relevant article on a Dutch sports site tells search engines that your page belongs to that conversation, and it brings readers who are already interested in training, equipment or events.
Local relevance counts as much as raw strength. A link from a Dutch-language site read by Dutch athletes usually does more for a local brand than a stronger but unrelated foreign site. If you target several markets, the guide on international SEO and backlinks explains how to balance country profiles. You can also browse the wider backlinks and sponsored articles for the Netherlands.
The catalogue is broad. The median authority (DR, or DA when DR is missing) is 33, and 32% of sites reach 30 or more. By authority band: 310 sites sit at 0–19, 86 at 20–29, 65 at 30–39, 110 at 40–59, and 14 at 60 or above. In other words, there is plenty of choice in the mid-range, and a small group of premium publishers for bigger campaigns.
Median organic traffic is 424 visits per month, which is typical for niche blogs and specialised magazines. Do not dismiss a modest site: a focused running or cycling blog with an engaged audience can be more valuable than a generic site with higher metrics.

Prices start at 38 € excluding VAT, article included. The median is 518 €, and the strongest 10% of sites start at 2491 €. That spread reflects authority, traffic and editorial standards. A small campaign can begin with a few affordable placements on relevant blogs, then add one or two stronger sites for key pages.
To judge whether a price is fair, compare it with authority, real traffic and topical fit rather than with the price alone. Our article on 2026 backlink prices and link value walks through that estimate, and the pricing page summarises typical costs.
Start with topic and language: pick sites whose articles naturally mention your products or services, whether that is training plans, sportswear or club memberships. Then check authority, traffic and the surrounding content. Vary your anchor texts and spread links across several pages, as explained in the guide to anchor text distribution.
Avoid sites that publish on every subject, show no real readership or sell links in bulk. The article on spotting PBNs and link farms lists the warning signs. If your offer also touches nutrition or recovery, the Health & Wellness sites in the Netherlands are a natural complement. When you are ready, the sponsored articles page shows how ordering works on LinkBooster.
