What counts as an Emirati backlink?
We categorize Emirati backlink inventory into two tiers: Core Emirati publishers with strong local signals, and Extended inventory with meaningful Emirati traffic.
Core Emirati inventory (1,184 publishers)
These are publishers with the strongest Emirati relevance signals:
- 119 websites with a .ae domain
- 522 websites where United Arab Emirates is their #1 source of organic search traffic
- 703 websites where United Arab Emirates is their #1 source of total traffic
Some examples of .ae inventory publishers and their SEO metrics:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Organic (total) | Organic from United Arab Emirates | Total traffic | Traffic from United Arab Emirates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| unitedfish.ae | Animals and Pets | Check | 32 | 20 | 7.8K | 7.4K | 10.8K | 162 |
| pulsetimes.ae | News and Media | Check | 7 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 90 | 36 |
| planuae.ae | Automotive | Check | 8 | 13 | 84 | 83 | 5.5K | 552 |
Extended inventory (5,122 additional publishers)
Beyond the core inventory, we identified 5,122 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from United Arab Emirates, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be United Arab Emirates-focused, but they deliver meaningful Emirati traffic. A few examples:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Total traffic | Traffic from United Arab Emirates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| technicalbrobd.com | News and Media | Check | 33 | 16 | 136.8K | 2.2K |
| cxid.info | Business | Check | 43 | 30 | 174.2K | 2.5K |
| allonlinebanglanewspapers.com | News and Media | Check | 7 | 16 | 38.6K | 2.7K |
Domain extension (.ae) and primary traffic source matter less than you might think. What actually drives backlink value is:
- Topical relevance to your website
- Absolute Emirati traffic (not percentage)
A high-authority tech blog from India with 5,000 Emirati visitors/month will often outperform a low-quality .ae site with 500 visitors in backlink value and usually costs less. The link equity flows to Emirati users regardless of where the publisher is based.
Total inventory: 6,306 publishers
Many domains qualify under more than one category. For example, a .ae domain may also rank as United Arab Emirates’s top organic traffic source.
This inventory size ranks United Arab Emirates #40 in the global guest posting market.
Emirati backlinks prices
Core Emirati inventory has median guest posting price of $27 and an average of $70.
Here’s a distribution of the inventory size, price ranges and median traffic you can expect from the typical Emirati publisher website in each pricing category:
| Price Range | Inventory Size | Median Traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Under $50 | 714 | 290 |
| $50-149 | 244 | 1.8K |
| $150-349 | 118 | 5.3K |
| $350-749 | 71 | 7.8K |
| $750-1,499 | 15 | 61.1K |
| $1,500+ | 22 | 56.8K |
Where to buy Emirati backlinks
We aggregate data from 25 major backlink marketplaces worldwide, making it easy to identify platforms with the largest inventory for any country.
For United Arab Emirates, the top three are prnews.io (2,554 domains), bazoom.com (2,561 domains), and adsy.com (2,654 domains).
| Marketplace | Total | .ae TLD | Top Organic | Top Total | 1K+ Visitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prnews.io | 2,554 | 25 | 104 | 191 | 2,370 |
| bazoom.com | 2,561 | 42 | 113 | 144 | 2,473 |
| adsy.com | 2,654 | 76 | 203 | 246 | 2,424 |
| Unique Total | 4,700 | ||||
However, many Emirati publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.
When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 4,700 domains — meaning 40% of publishers are exclusive to a single marketplace.
To maximize your options and get the best prices, you’d need accounts on all three platforms.
Alternatively, FatGrid provides access to inventory from all 25 marketplaces through a single account.
We handle the complexity of managing multiple platforms and offer a full refund guarantee — if a placement fails, you get 100% of your money back to your original payment method, not marketplace credits.
This matters because many platforms only refund to their internal balance or charge refund fees, effectively locking your funds.
