If your business is in New York, you compete for attention in one of the busiest markets in the country. Link building in New York is what sets you apart: links from articles on trusted sites tell search engines and AI assistants that your website is a source worth citing.
On Prensarank you choose each site with its metrics in front of you, we write the article at no extra cost, and half of all orders go live within 24 hours. There are no retainers or contracts, and sign-up is free, so you can browse sites and prices before deciding anything. If you'd rather read up first, below you'll find what it costs and where the local opportunities are.
No quotes to request and no retainer: you decide, buy direct and we deal with the publisher.
New York's press works in layers, and each one sends a different signal.
Citywide dailies. The New York Daily News and the New York Post are the city's big popular dailies.
Business press. Crain's New York Business covers the city's business community.
Local and nonprofit newsrooms. amNewYork (amNY) pairs a free paper with hyperlocal coverage online. The City Reporter (formerly THE CITY) is a nonprofit newsroom launched in 2019, and Gothamist is the local newsroom of New York Public Radio.
Niche and industry sites. In the market, three out of four orders go to niche or specialist sites, because topical relevance counts as much as reach.
The strongest plan mixes the local signal of New York coverage, the authority of national US news sites and the relevance of your niche. On Prensarank you can compare sites that help your website rank in New York, with their metrics visible before you buy.
Combine New York sites with national news sites and niche blogs in your industry. Each level sends a different signal.
Blend brand, keyword and descriptive anchors of three or more words. You choose the URL and the anchor for every link.
Point links at product and service pages, not just your homepage. In the market, around 60% of links go there.
Review the results of each article to plan the next. In the market, repeat buyers publish about once a month.
Beyond the press, New York City is full of hooks for stories that deserve a sponsored article:
| Organization | What it is | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Columbia University and NYU | Two of the city's leading research universities | Commenting on a study in your field gives you a newsworthy angle |
| CCNY (CUNY) and The New School | A public college and a private university | Internships, scholarships or student projects make a genuine local story |
| Partnership for New York City | An organization of the city's business leaders | Its work on the local economy can anchor an opinion or trend piece |
| Advertising Week New York | The advertising industry's gathering, held every year | A piece on a marketing site around the event catches peak attention |
None of them sells links, but each gives you a reason to be talked about, and a sponsored article on a site in your field turns that into links. And unlike with most link building firms, on Prensarank there are no quotes to request: you see every price up front.
The United States sits in the middle of the market on price: a sponsored article averages €150-200, more than half of all orders cost under €100, and traffic is what moves the price most.
Up to about 20,000 visits a month. Ideal for getting started and building topical relevance.
About 75,000 visits a month. The average price of a sponsored article in the market.
About 200,000 visits a month. The biggest sites in the market can reach €600-700.
You see each site's price before you buy, and prices rise slightly every year, so it pays to start early. On Prensarank you pay once per published article, writing included, and our order volume gets you better prices than negotiating alone with each site.
Outsourcing link building in NYC usually means agency quotes and waiting. On Prensarank you compare metrics and prices and buy directly.
Half of orders go live in 24 hours and most in 48 hours, versus almost a week in the market.
