What counts as a Nigerian backlink?
We categorize Nigerian backlink inventory into two tiers: Core Nigerian publishers with strong local signals, and Extended inventory with meaningful Nigerian traffic.
Core Nigerian inventory (1,451 publishers)
These are publishers with the strongest Nigerian relevance signals:
- 226 websites with a .ng domain
- 766 websites where Nigeria is their #1 source of organic search traffic
- 867 websites where Nigeria is their #1 source of total traffic
Some examples of .ng inventory publishers and their SEO metrics:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Organic (total) | Organic from Nigeria | Total traffic | Traffic from Nigeria |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| naijaray.com.ng | Music | Check | 2 | 15 | 6.1K | 6.1K | 98.6K | 37.5K |
| insight.ng | Finance | Check | 26 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 675 | 31 |
| rnn.ng | Culture | Check | 23 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 10.5K | 36 |
Extended inventory (4,256 additional publishers)
Beyond the core inventory, we identified 4,256 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from Nigeria, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be Nigeria-focused, but they deliver meaningful Nigerian traffic. A few examples:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Total traffic | Traffic from Nigeria |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fameseller.com | Shopping | Check | 11 | 22 | 34.5K | 5.5K |
| iskcondesiretree.com | Society | Check | 59 | 43 | 541.4K | 2.3K |
| deliberatedirections.com | Business | Check | 66 | 41 | 73.3K | 1.7K |
Domain extension (.ng) and primary traffic source matter less than you might think. What actually drives backlink value is:
- Topical relevance to your website
- Absolute Nigerian traffic (not percentage)
A high-authority tech blog from India with 5,000 Nigerian visitors/month will often outperform a low-quality .ng site with 500 visitors in backlink value and usually costs less. The link equity flows to Nigerian users regardless of where the publisher is based.
Total inventory: 5,707 publishers
Many domains qualify under more than one category. For example, a .ng domain may also rank as Nigeria’s top organic traffic source.
This inventory size ranks Nigeria #44 in the global guest posting market.
Nigerian backlinks prices
Core Nigerian inventory has median guest posting price of $124 and an average of $163.
Here’s a distribution of the inventory size, price ranges and median traffic you can expect from the typical Nigerian publisher website in each pricing category:
| Price Range | Inventory Size | Median Traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Under $50 | 384 | 1.9K |
| $50-149 | 430 | 6.6K |
| $150-349 | 387 | 11.3K |
| $350-749 | 173 | 11.5K |
| $750-1,499 | 62 | 11.5K |
| $1,500+ | 15 | 10.8K |
Where to buy Nigerian backlinks
We aggregate data from 25 major backlink marketplaces worldwide, making it easy to identify platforms with the largest inventory for any country.
For Nigeria, the top three are prnews.io (2,329 domains), bazoom.com (2,444 domains), and adsy.com (2,596 domains).
| Marketplace | Total | .ng TLD | Top Organic | Top Total | 1K+ Visitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prnews.io | 2,329 | 64 | 302 | 315 | 2,145 |
| bazoom.com | 2,444 | 104 | 394 | 392 | 2,277 |
| adsy.com | 2,596 | 86 | 418 | 419 | 2,394 |
| Unique Total | 4,360 | ||||
However, many Nigerian publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.
When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 4,360 domains — meaning 41% 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.
