Germany Guest Posting Sites 2027: 128 German & .DE Backlink Opportunities

128 Germany guest posting sites: DA, DR, traffic & price

Every site below has its own order page in the Global Backlink Agency marketplace. Each row shows the Moz Domain Authority (DA), Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR), estimated traffic and listed price in US dollars. The list is split into 90 standard listings and 38 budget listings. Scroll sideways on mobile to see all columns.

Standard listings (90 sites, $10–$204)

Budget listings (38 sites, $3 each)

These lower-traffic sites each show estimated traffic under 500. They suit small tests or niche-specific placements rather than traffic-driven campaigns.

Prices and availability can change. Open a site's order page to see its current listing, or browse the full marketplace for other countries and niches.

What are Germany guest posting sites?

In practice, "guest post" covers everything from a genuinely editorial contribution to a paid, sponsored placement. Many of the publishers on this list charge for placement, which is why price is shown alongside the metrics. Paid placements should be clearly labelled by the publisher and the link qualified accordingly (more on that in the evaluation section).

Why build German backlinks?

Germany is the largest economy in the European Union and has a mature, highly local publishing landscape. Regional dailies, city news portals, sports fan sites and hobby communities often have loyal readerships that international sites don't reach. The list below mixes general news and magazine sites with narrower topic sites, so check each one for a genuine fit with your subject.

Keep expectations grounded. Google has not stated that links from German sites rank German pages higher, and no single guest post guarantees rankings. Treat German link building as one part of a wider Germany SEO strategy that also includes German-language content, a sensible site structure for your target market and pages that genuinely serve German searchers.

Who should use German guest posts?

• Ecommerce and SaaS brands expanding into the DACH market with localised product or landing pages.
• Local and regional businesses where a mention in a regional German news portal reaches the right city or state.
• Agencies running German link building campaigns for clients who need German-language placements.
• Niche publishers in areas such as finance, sports, gaming or home and garden, where matching German sites exist.

If your site has no German content and no German customers, a German backlink is unlikely to be the best use of budget. Start by building the pages German users would land on.

What DA and DR mean (and what they don't)

Because each tool uses its own crawl and formula, the two numbers often disagree. On this list, the median DR is 41 and 7 of the 128 sites have a DR of 60 or higher. The widest gap is fokusprime.de, with DA 41 and DR 70. You can check any domain's current scores with our free DA and DR checker.

.DE vs .COM websites for German audiences

Google's documentation on managing multi-regional and multilingual sites describes country-code top-level domains as a strong signal that a site targets a specific country. That's confirmed guidance about geotargeting your own website.

What it does not say is that backlinks from ccTLD sites carry special ranking weight. The sensible, industry-standard view is that what matters is whether the linking site is relevant to your topic and genuinely reaches German-speaking readers. Many strong German-language publishers use .com or other endings, so don't rule a site out on its domain alone. When comparing two options, a relevant German-language .com site will usually be a better fit than an unrelated .de site.

German guest posting vs general guest posting

The fundamentals are the same as any guest posting campaign, but a few things differ when you work with German publishers.

How to evaluate a German guest post website

Relevance and audience

• Topical relevance: does the site regularly publish about your subject, or would your article be an outlier?
• Real organic traffic: is the traffic coming from Germany (or Austria and Switzerland), and is it stable rather than spiking or collapsing?
• Audience: would the people who read this site plausibly become your customers?

Quality and editorial standards

• Content quality: are existing articles well written in German, or thin and machine-translated?
• Editorial standards: does an editor review submissions, or is anything published?
• Indexation: search site:domain.de in Google to confirm the site and its recent articles are indexed.
• Website history: sudden traffic drops or a change of topic can point to penalties or an expired domain being reused.

Links and risk signals

• Outbound-link patterns: many unrelated sponsored links per article, or casino and pharma links across unrelated topics, are warning signs.
• Link attributes: confirm whether the link will be dofollow, nofollow or sponsored. Our guide to dofollow and nofollow links explains the difference.
• Placement: will the article sit in the main blog or news section, or in a hidden archive no one reads?
• Price vs value: compare price against relevance and audience, not just metrics.

One important note on policy: Google's spam policies treat links bought to manipulate rankings as link spam, and Google asks that paid or sponsored links be qualified with rel="sponsored". Choose publishers for their audience and relevance, not only for a link, and expect reputable German publishers to label sponsored content.

How to find more German guest post opportunities

Add a topic word to narrow results, for example site:.de "gastbeitrag" garten for gardening sites or site:.de "gastautor" finanzen for finance. For Austrian or Swiss publishers, swap in site:.at or site:.ch. Every result still needs the checks above before you pitch or pay.

How to choose the right German website: pre-order checklist

1. Confirm the site's topic matches your page and your German audience.
2. Check its current DA and DR with a domain authority checker, and compare its estimated traffic trend over several months.
3. Confirm the site is indexed and recent articles appear in Google.
4. Review a few recent guest or sponsored posts for quality and outbound-link patterns.
5. Ask for the current price, link attribute, labelling and placement in writing.
6. Plan native-quality German content that is useful on its own, not just a vehicle for a link.
7. Choose one natural anchor; our anchor text generator can suggest varied options.
8. After publication, check the live link and indexing with our backlink counter.

How much do German guest posts cost?

Across the wider market, German guest post prices vary a great deal. Pricing usually reflects a mix of factors:

• Estimated traffic and third-party authority scores
• Niche and topic
• Editorial standards and how selective the publisher is
• Placement (homepage or category exposure vs archive only)
• Content requirements, including German writing or translation
• The publisher's own commercial pricing

Price is not a proxy for SEO value in either direction. A low-cost placement on a closely relevant site can be worth more than a pricier one on an unrelated site, and a very cheap site still needs the same quality checks as any other.

Want German guest posts handled for you?

Every site on this list can be ordered from its marketplace page. If you'd rather not manage the process yourself, Global Backlink Agency can help you choose sites, write the article in German through our content writing service, and manage submission to the publisher. We can also suggest alternatives from the marketplace or plan placements as part of a wider link building campaign.
