Tips on Finding Do-follow blogs and .edu and .gov links

Here's a list of some search queries you cane use to target dofollow blogs and .edu and .gov links:

ENTER YOUR TARGET KEYWORD "Remember my personal information" "Notify me of follow-up comments"

or you can try something like this:

"comment" -"you must be logged in" -"posting closed" -"comment closed" "keyword"

This one's pretty good as well:

intext:"key term" inurl:blog|wordpress|blogspot|blogger (not dofollow)

Here's how to find some .EDU LINKS:

student blog topic site:.edu
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=linkdomain%3Awordpress.org+site%3Aedu+student+blog&vc=&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fp_ip=CA
"forum site:.edu"
"blog site:.edu"

This way you only find posts where you are allowed to comment and where commenting is still open.

Also, keep in mind that any open source tool is a link target:
site:edu "Drupal classified ads" (finds open source ads module on Drupal installs)
site:edu inurl:"name=Web_Links" (to find the links pages of PHPnuke forums)
site:edu wiki (finds wiki’s, often editable esp. the mediawiki powered ones)

Hope you can find build some good links using these techniques, enjoy!

 

Question, does an edu link improve se rankings or pagerank more than a regular link?

 

thanks for the searching tips

 

hmm, depends on who you ask and on a few other things as well.

1.) Google PR- if a non .edu link has higher PR than that link is still more effective
2.) Relevancy- an .edu link from an unrelated source (e.g. science forum for rental car company would not make any sense) will not be as effective as a normal .com/.ca/.uk from a relevant site

So in general, .edu links are pretty much the same as other links, unless you happen to be able to get one that is both high PR and relevancy, which is often tough. Hence why .edu links are perceived as being way more powerful.

 

Also, the age of many .edu domains is believed to be helpfull ...

Thanks the for the BTW!

 

Good point that I missed. That's why Google loves .edu links; they're old, they're highly relevant, and they are impossible to buy! hehehe

 

Thank for this idea.
