Which link-building marketplace is actually best if your targets are in Romania 🇷🇴? Global rankings hide local differences — a platform that wins worldwide can be mediocre in one market. So we re-ran our 35-marketplace methodology on Romanian sites only: every site in the price matrix whose top organic-traffic country is Romania (per Ahrefs).
That leaves 10,166 real price listings across 1,265 Romanian-audience sites, with 29 marketplaces qualifying for the ranking (at least 25 Romanian sites listed).
What we measured
Every marketplace is priced on the same pool of Romanian sites, so they can be compared head-to-head. Five criteria, all real numbers from the listings — and the sliders below re-rank the table live:
- Catalog size — how many Romanian sites it sells.
- Best-price wins — how often it holds the cheapest price for a site among all vendors.
- Value per DR — median price ÷ Domain Rating; lower is better.
- Value per traffic — median price per 1,000 real monthly visits; lower is better.
- Site quality — average DR of the Romanian sites it carries.
The ranking — set your own weights
| # | Marketplace | Score | Romanian sites | Best-price | $ / DR | $ / 1k visits | Avg DR |

What the Romanian data says
- The global winner leads here too. links.me — #1 in our worldwide ranking — also tops Romania (score 82.8): 825 Romanian sites and the cheapest price 43.0% of the time.
- Scale won. The winner also owns the deepest Romanian catalog (825 sites) — unusual: size and price discipline normally trade off.
- contenthub.pro is the value pick for audience. Its median cost per 1,000 Romanian visits ($41.15) is the lowest of any large marketplace here (it ranks #6 overall).
- Shopping around pays. On 75% of Romanian sites sold by 2+ marketplaces, the priciest listing is at least 2× the cheapest — same site, same link.
How we scored
Dataset: the seotools.info Backlink Pricing matrix — 727k listings across 109k sites — filtered to sites whose top organic-traffic country is Romania (Ahrefs metrics). Each criterion becomes a 0–100 percentile rank against the other 28 qualifying marketplaces, then blended with the weights above (defaults 30 / 25 / 15 / 15 / 15 — identical to the global ranking). Nothing is hand-picked: move the sliders and the ranking recomputes instantly. Prices are list prices from the marketplaces' own catalogs.
