What is the value of .edu links?

    I am wondering the value and effectiveness of being linked with .edu sites. In your opinion are they worth it and how much value do they possess?

    You could have made a search for this as it has been asked a number of times on DP. Anyway, according to Matt Cutts, .edu dont carry any special weight.

    ~ But, since these sites are generally well developed and established so a link from em will do good.

    Ok listen don't get all caught up on edu links . The reason there big "talk" about the edu links for is because generally edu links are good because they come from high authority sites such as colleges and etc, but then again there is just as good as .com links so don't let the .edu confuse you.

    Learn to evaluate links on your own and don't get all caught up on the edu and etc.

    EDU link would ONLY benefit you if the link is on a page having good content and high PR. u not only get benefit of having an authority link but also get benefitted from its high PR.

    however, there's a lot of hype about getting EDU links for some time now and lot of scammers out there are taking advantage of it selling EDU links on some studen blog/sites. since those student sites don;t usually have any PR of its own and do get deleted after some specific period of the student graduating, they don;t do you any good.

    in a nutshell - they are just like any others and no one should get caught up with this too much

    There really is no more value than any other link. If it is of related content, then you will likely benefit.

    .edu links do not have any more link juice than .com links.

    Matt Cutts said it himself in his blog..
