What counts as a British backlink?
We categorize British backlink inventory into two tiers: Core British publishers with strong local signals, and Extended inventory with meaningful British traffic.
Core British inventory (15,511 publishers)
These are publishers with the strongest British relevance signals:
- 8,776 websites with a .uk domain
- 4,803 websites where United Kingdom is their #1 source of organic search traffic
- 7,017 websites where United Kingdom is their #1 source of total traffic
Some examples of .uk inventory publishers and their SEO metrics:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Organic (total) | Organic from United Kingdom | Total traffic | Traffic from United Kingdom |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| adorecharlotte.co.uk | Construction and Repairs | Check | 23 | 27 | 1.9K | 159 | 20.3K | 296 |
| justdoproperty.co.uk | Construction and Repairs | Check | 32 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 6.6K | 5.2K |
| socialequality.org.uk | Health and Medicine | Check | 23 | 26 | 2.1K | 1.2K | 3.0K | 431 |
Extended inventory (16,361 additional publishers)
Beyond the core inventory, we identified 16,361 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from United Kingdom, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be United Kingdom-focused, but they deliver meaningful British traffic. A few examples:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Total traffic | Traffic from United Kingdom |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| autoyas.com | Technology | Check | 36 | 17 | 96.0K | 9.1K |
| warsawtimes.com | Finance | Check | 10 | 9 | 2.4K | 1.4K |
| business24.ro | Business | Check | 57 | 29 | 402.0K | 2.5K |
Domain extension (.uk) and primary traffic source matter less than you might think. What actually drives backlink value is:
- Topical relevance to your website
- Absolute British traffic (not percentage)
A high-authority tech blog from India with 5,000 British visitors/month will often outperform a low-quality .uk site with 500 visitors in backlink value and usually costs less. The link equity flows to British users regardless of where the publisher is based.
Total inventory: 31,872 publishers
Many domains qualify under more than one category. For example, a .uk domain may also rank as United Kingdom’s top organic traffic source.
This inventory size ranks United Kingdom #5 in the global guest posting market.
British backlinks prices
Core British inventory has median guest posting price of $39 and an average of $116.
Here’s a distribution of the inventory size, price ranges and median traffic you can expect from the typical British publisher website in each pricing category:
| Price Range | Inventory Size | Median Traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Under $50 | 8,234 | 254 |
| $50-149 | 3,067 | 1.2K |
| $150-349 | 2,065 | 2.8K |
| $350-749 | 1,090 | 6.9K |
| $750-1,499 | 686 | 24.1K |
| $1,500+ | 351 | 47.7K |
Where to buy British 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 Kingdom, the top three are prnews.io (12,333 domains), bazoom.com (11,583 domains), and adsy.com (11,527 domains).
| Marketplace | Total | .uk TLD | Top Organic | Top Total | 1K+ Visitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prnews.io | 12,333 | 1,904 | 1,891 | 2,514 | 9,970 |
| bazoom.com | 11,583 | 1,789 | 2,022 | 2,219 | 9,675 |
| adsy.com | 11,527 | 2,876 | 2,227 | 2,414 | 8,515 |
| Unique Total | 21,843 | ||||
However, many British publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.
When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 21,843 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.
