Forex publishing splits into four tiers, and only two of them are worth much for SEO. Know which one you are pitching.
The market-data outlets do not take open guest posts. The trade press takes regulatory and industry analysis. The education sites take genuine lessons. The review portals are the risky layer. The list of 100 is below, grouped by tier.
Pick your tier first
| Tier | Examples | How you get in |
|---|---|---|
| Market data & analysis | DailyFX, FXStreet, ForexLive, Investing.com, Myfxbook, TradingView | Not open guest posts. Original analysis, an economic-data breakdown, or expert commentary on a live move |
| Broker-industry trade press | Finance Magnates, LeapRate, Forex Crunch, Global Forex Awards | Regulatory analysis, broker-market data, industry commentary from a named professional |
| Education & strategy | BabyPips, Investopedia Forex, Earn Forex, Forex School Online, Trading Pedia | Genuine trading education with tested method and honest expectation-setting |
| Affiliate & review portals | ForexBrokerz, ForexPeaceArmy, Compare Forex Brokers, 100 Forex Brokers, FXScouts | Real reviews and comparisons; disclosed bio link only on the ones with real editorial teams |
What the metrics mean
| Metric | What it is | How much it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Domain Rating (DR) | Ahrefs' 0 to 100 score for a whole site's backlink profile | A useful filter, not a verdict |
| Domain Authority (DA) | Moz's equivalent 0 to 100 score | Same idea as DR |
| Page Authority (PA) | Moz's score for one specific page | Matters once you know which page your post will live on |
| URL Rating (UR) | Ahrefs' score for one specific URL | Same purpose as PA |
| Monthly Traffic | Estimated organic visits per month | The most honest signal that a link will be seen |
Here is the deal: forex is a YMYL niche packed with bought links, PBNs and paid placements, and Google has suppressed the whole space in updates. One placement on FXStreet or Finance Magnates is worth more than fifty affiliate-review links, and the fifty carry risk.
The 100 sites
Domain Rating, Domain Authority, Page Authority, URL Rating and estimated monthly traffic. Every domain was checked live in September 2026; dead and parked sites were replaced with live equivalents. Metrics are third-party estimates and shift over time.

The pitch that works
- Lead with the analysis. "Why the ECB decision sets up EUR/USD for a range" or "our data on retail positioning before NFP" earns the read.
- Prove the track record. A verified Myfxbook, published analysis, or a role at a broker, fund or research desk.
- Pitch the section. "For your technical analysis" or "for the regulation coverage" shows you read the outlet.
- Bring the assets. Annotated charts, a data set, a positioning table.
- Match the format. Data outlets want a tight analysis. Trade press wants a sourced industry story. Education sites want a structured lesson.
- Disclose any broker or affiliate relationship up front. In a YMYL niche this is non-negotiable.
The test: would an editor run this if you had nothing to sell? If yes, pitch it. If it exists only to place a link, it goes in the bin.
What not to do
- Buy links from broker-review blogs that quote a flat per-post price. That is the exact footprint Google penalises here.
- Pitch a "what is forex" explainer. Every site has one.
- Send analysis with no charts and no track record.
- Put exact-match anchors ("best forex broker") on links back to your brokerage.
- Run AI-generated market analysis with no real figures and no named author.
Bottom line: in forex, a short list of placements on real market-data and trade outlets beats a long list of review-site links, and it is the only approach that does not put the domain at risk.
