🇫🇷 Buy Backlinks in France: Pricing Guide

To research the French link-building market, we analyzed 1.4M offers for 322K websites from 25 of the largest guest posting marketplaces and major link sellers worldwide.

From this data, we identified 164,114 offers for 41,588 websites that we classify as French backlink inventory.

Then we looked deeper into publisher details and their offers to understand the inventory breakdown, publisher price ranges, real examples of offerings, and the guest posting marketplaces with the strongest selection of French backlinks.

Let's dive in.

What counts as a French backlink?

We categorize French backlink inventory into two tiers: Core French publishers with strong local signals, and Extended inventory with meaningful French traffic.

Core French inventory (30,895 publishers)

These are publishers with the strongest French relevance signals:

• 16,730 websites with a .fr domain
• 20,537 websites where France is their #1 source of organic search traffic
• 17,427 websites where France is their #1 source of total traffic

Some examples of .fr inventory publishers and their SEO metrics:

Extended inventory (10,693 additional publishers)

Beyond the core inventory, we identified 10,693 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from France, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be France-focused, but they deliver meaningful French traffic. A few examples:

Domain extension (.fr) and primary traffic source matter less than you might think. What actually drives backlink value is:

• Topical relevance to your website
• Absolute French traffic (not percentage)

A high-authority tech blog from India with 5,000 French visitors/month will often outperform a low-quality .fr site with 500 visitors in backlink value and usually costs less. The link equity flows to French users regardless of where the publisher is based.

Total inventory: 41,588 publishers

Many domains qualify under more than one category. For example, a .fr domain may also rank as France's top organic traffic source.

This inventory size ranks France #3 in the global guest posting market.

French backlinks prices

Core French inventory has median guest posting price of $35 and an average of $84.

Here's a distribution of the inventory size, price ranges and median traffic you can expect from the typical French publisher website in each pricing category:

Where to buy French backlinks

We aggregate data from 25 major backlink marketplaces worldwide, making it easy to identify platforms with the largest inventory for any country.

For France, the top three are prnews.io (12,627 domains), bazoom.com (10,717 domains), and adsy.com (10,370 domains).

However, many French publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.

When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 20,994 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.
