What counts as a German backlink?
We categorize German backlink inventory into two tiers: Core German publishers with strong local signals, and Extended inventory with meaningful German traffic.
Core German inventory (18,482 publishers)
These are publishers with the strongest German relevance signals:
- 10,088 websites with a .de domain
- 10,618 websites where Germany is their #1 source of organic search traffic
- 12,326 websites where Germany is their #1 source of total traffic
Some examples of .de inventory publishers and their SEO metrics:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Organic (total) | Organic from Germany | Total traffic | Traffic from Germany |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| berghuette-bayern.de | Business | Check | 19 | 8 | 67 | 67 | 2.9K | 2.0K |
| umwelt-panorama.de | Technology | Check | 29 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 761 | 395 |
| prometei.de | Health and Medicine | Check | 50 | 25 | 875 | 875 | 4.6K | 1.6K |
Extended inventory (15,013 additional publishers)
Beyond the core inventory, we identified 15,013 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from Germany, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be Germany-focused, but they deliver meaningful German traffic. A few examples:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Total traffic | Traffic from Germany |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| brainblog.net | Entertainment | Check | 8 | 27 | 31.1K | 23.9K |
| radiokrakow.pl | Finance | Check | 73 | 44 | 670.1K | 1.4K |
| businessday.ng | Business | Check | 78 | 53 | 649.0K | 2.1K |
Domain extension (.de) and primary traffic source matter less than you might think. What actually drives backlink value is:
- Topical relevance to your website
- Absolute German traffic (not percentage)
A high-authority tech blog from India with 5,000 German visitors/month will often outperform a low-quality .de site with 500 visitors in backlink value and usually costs less. The link equity flows to German users regardless of where the publisher is based.
Total inventory: 33,495 publishers
Many domains qualify under more than one category. For example, a .de domain may also rank as Germany’s top organic traffic source.
This inventory size ranks Germany #4 in the global guest posting market.
German backlinks prices
Core German inventory has median guest posting price of $190 and an average of $307.
Here’s a distribution of the inventory size, price ranges and median traffic you can expect from the typical German publisher website in each pricing category:
| Price Range | Inventory Size | Median Traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Under $50 | 3,933 | 355 |
| $50-149 | 3,521 | 570 |
| $150-349 | 4,622 | 954 |
| $350-749 | 3,439 | 3.3K |
| $750-1,499 | 1,900 | 7.3K |
| $1,500+ | 1,012 | 25.4K |
Where to buy German backlinks
We aggregate data from 25 major backlink marketplaces worldwide, making it easy to identify platforms with the largest inventory for any country.
For Germany, the top three are prnews.io (13,874 domains), bazoom.com (13,781 domains), and adsy.com (10,687 domains).
| Marketplace | Total | .de TLD | Top Organic | Top Total | 1K+ Visitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prnews.io | 13,874 | 3,508 | 3,984 | 4,534 | 10,568 |
| bazoom.com | 13,781 | 4,373 | 4,927 | 4,863 | 10,495 |
| adsy.com | 10,687 | 3,012 | 3,619 | 3,732 | 7,974 |
| Unique Total | 23,863 | ||||
However, many German publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.
When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 23,863 domains — meaning 38% 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.
