What counts as an Icelandic backlink?
We categorize Icelandic backlink inventory into two tiers: Core Icelandic publishers with strong local signals, and Extended inventory with meaningful Icelandic traffic.
Core Icelandic inventory (67 publishers)
These are publishers with the strongest Icelandic relevance signals:
- 20 websites with a .is domain
- 13 websites where Iceland is their #1 source of organic search traffic
- 43 websites where Iceland is their #1 source of total traffic
Some examples of .is inventory publishers and their SEO metrics:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Organic (total) | Organic from Iceland | Total traffic | Traffic from Iceland |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ecweb.is | Technology | Check | 24 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 83 | 0 |
| noregur.is | Travelling | Check | 7 | 13 | 60 | 47 | 872 | 598 |
| fiskidagurinnmikli.is | Business | Check | 13 | 16 | 42 | 42 | 101 | 101 |
Extended inventory (760 additional publishers)
Beyond the core inventory, we identified 760 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from Iceland, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be Iceland-focused, but they deliver meaningful Icelandic traffic. A few examples:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Total traffic | Traffic from Iceland |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| evernote.com | Internet | Check | 90 | 66 | 11.1M | 2.3K |
| soundproofwiz.com | Business | Check | 7 | 2 | 12.3K | 1.0K |
| thesimsresource.com | News and Media | Check | 65 | 50 | 3.9M | 1.8K |
Domain extension (.is) and primary traffic source matter less than you might think. What actually drives backlink value is:
- Topical relevance to your website
- Absolute Icelandic traffic (not percentage)
A high-authority tech blog from India with 5,000 Icelandic visitors/month will often outperform a low-quality .is site with 500 visitors in backlink value and usually costs less. The link equity flows to Icelandic users regardless of where the publisher is based.
Total inventory: 827 publishers
Many domains qualify under more than one category. For example, a .is domain may also rank as Iceland’s top organic traffic source.
This inventory size ranks Iceland #101 in the global guest posting market.
Icelandic backlinks prices
Core Icelandic inventory has median guest posting price of $44 and an average of $103.
Here’s a distribution of the inventory size, price ranges and median traffic you can expect from the typical Icelandic publisher website in each pricing category:
| Price Range | Inventory Size | Median Traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Under $50 | 34 | 403 |
| $50-149 | 11 | 831 |
| $150-349 | 15 | 1.9K |
| $350-749 | 5 | 3.9K |
| $750-1,499 | 0 | 0 |
| $1,500+ | 2 | 3.1M |
Where to buy Icelandic backlinks
We aggregate data from 25 major backlink marketplaces worldwide, making it easy to identify platforms with the largest inventory for any country.
For Iceland, the top three are prnews.io (404 domains), bazoom.com (283 domains), and adsy.com (317 domains).
| Marketplace | Total | .is TLD | Top Organic | Top Total | 1K+ Visitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prnews.io | 404 | 4 | 4 | 16 | 387 |
| bazoom.com | 283 | 4 | 5 | 14 | 274 |
| adsy.com | 317 | 9 | 4 | 14 | 303 |
| Unique Total | 659 | ||||
However, many Icelandic publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.
When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 659 domains — meaning 35% 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.
