🇮🇹 Buy Backlinks in Italy: Pricing Guide

To research the Italian 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 99,259 offers for 19,627 websites that we classify as Italian 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 Italian backlinks.

Let's dive in.

What counts as an Italian backlink?

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

5,208 4,829 9,590 Core Italian 10,037 total Extended 14,419 total

Core Italian inventory (10,037 publishers)

These are publishers with the strongest Italian relevance signals:

  • 5,408 websites with a .it domain
  • 7,365 websites where Italy is their #1 source of organic search traffic
  • 6,542 websites where Italy is their #1 source of total traffic

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

Extended inventory (9,590 additional publishers)

Beyond the core inventory, we identified 9,590 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from Italy, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be Italy-focused, but they deliver meaningful Italian traffic. A few examples:

myapps4pc.com Technology Check 30 10 105.1K 2.2K
stiri.md Finance Check 56 49 487.6K 5.8K

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

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

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

Total inventory: 19,627 publishers

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

This inventory size ranks Italy #10 in the global guest posting market.

Italian backlinks prices

Core Italian inventory has median guest posting price of $143 and an average of $200.

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

Where to buy Italian backlinks

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

For Italy, the top three are prnews.io (8,440 domains), bazoom.com (8,391 domains), and adsy.com (6,894 domains).

MarketplaceTotal.it TLDTop OrganicTop Total1K+ Visitors
prnews.io 8,440 2,503 3,231 2,986 6,964
bazoom.com 8,391 2,027 3,556 2,698 7,012
adsy.com 6,894 2,140 2,926 2,534 5,365
Unique Total 14,413

However, many Italian publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.

When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 14,413 domains - meaning 40% 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.
