How to find if any EDU sites linking to yours?

I know there are lots of ways to see what links you have pointing to your site but is there a way to tell if you have any EDU sites linking to you without having to go through all the .com's etc?

 

if you're using google add inurl:.edu to your search

 

I just use Rank Checker made by Aaron Wall over at SEObook. I have a few edu links on my sites so it's nice to check up on those links once in a while.

 

I will download my backlinks from webmaster tools and search for .edu. If you don't want to download use following code to search.

link:www.domainname.tld inurl:*.edu

Code (markup):

 

In Yahoo just type the following to get a very accurate list of your .edu links!

linkdomain:YOURDOMAIN.COM +site:.edu -site:.com -site:YOURDOMAIN.COM

 

site:.edu then you got it

 

You can use http://www.checkpagerank.net/ to check the backlinks

 

Thanks guys for your comments

 

I picked up a big EDU site today. I volunteered my time for a faculty member allowing me to place a link on their site. This might not work for every niche but as a webmaster, volunteering your time and experience may lead to a nice link as well as future work from the exposure.
