What counts as an American backlink?
We categorize American backlink inventory into two tiers: Core American publishers with strong local signals, and Extended inventory with meaningful American traffic.
Core American inventory (43,641 publishers)
These are publishers with the strongest American relevance signals:
- 1,717 websites with a .us domain
- 23,081 websites where United States is their #1 source of organic search traffic
- 29,800 websites where United States is their #1 source of total traffic
Some examples of .us inventory publishers and their SEO metrics:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Organic (total) | Organic from United States | Total traffic | Traffic from United States |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| tgtube.us | Hobbies and Leisure | Check | 1 | 7 | 18 | 0 | 875 | 142 |
| zeropercent.us | Business | Check | 43 | 19 | 33 | 13 | 304 | 63 |
| coolstreaming.us | Entertainment | Check | 39 | 34 | 23.8K | 845 | 221.4K | 15.2K |
Extended inventory (17,680 additional publishers)
Beyond the core inventory, we identified 17,680 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from United States, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be United States-focused, but they deliver meaningful American traffic. A few examples:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Total traffic | Traffic from United States |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| thewatchtower.com | Business | Check | 52 | 24 | 11.3K | 1.2K |
| vappingo.com | Business | Check | 38 | 33 | 16.6K | 1.8K |
| fishduck.com | Games | Check | 40 | 33 | 114.3K | 109.4K |
Domain extension (.us) and primary traffic source matter less than you might think. What actually drives backlink value is:
- Topical relevance to your website
- Absolute American traffic (not percentage)
A high-authority tech blog from India with 5,000 American visitors/month will often outperform a low-quality .us site with 500 visitors in backlink value and usually costs less. The link equity flows to American users regardless of where the publisher is based.
Total inventory: 61,321 publishers
Many domains qualify under more than one category. For example, a .us domain may also rank as United States’s top organic traffic source.
This inventory size ranks United States #1 in the global guest posting market.
American backlinks prices
Core American inventory has median guest posting price of $57 and an average of $148.
Here’s a distribution of the inventory size, price ranges and median traffic you can expect from the typical American publisher website in each pricing category:
| Price Range | Inventory Size | Median Traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Under $50 | 19,608 | 417 |
| $50-149 | 10,340 | 1.3K |
| $150-349 | 6,304 | 5.5K |
| $350-749 | 3,644 | 15.0K |
| $750-1,499 | 1,894 | 32.7K |
| $1,500+ | 1,824 | 58.7K |
Where to buy American 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 States, the top three are prnews.io (23,217 domains), bazoom.com (21,080 domains), and adsy.com (22,636 domains).
| Marketplace | Total | .us TLD | Top Organic | Top Total | 1K+ Visitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prnews.io | 23,217 | 228 | 7,599 | 10,212 | 14,903 |
| bazoom.com | 21,080 | 67 | 9,069 | 8,412 | 15,651 |
| adsy.com | 22,636 | 131 | 10,338 | 10,096 | 14,877 |
| Unique Total | 41,119 | ||||
However, many American publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.
When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 41,119 domains — meaning 39% 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.
