How to get .edu backlinks!

I got this trick from a SEO guru.

the answer is very simple, try searching for forums/messages board on .edu sites! you will find a lot of them! use a signature! this will give you quality backlinks from .edu links! you won't even known how much value they got!

 

Yeah fair comment, but we all know that google has devalued links from forums.

 

I don't think so ... many forums use diferents signatures/etc... just try to find edu domain names with message board/guest books allowing you to also post your website (or to post messages using your signature)
PHPboard isn't the onyl forum in the world, by the way D haha

 

interesting idea. good thinking.

 

How do you search for a forum or message board on an edu domain?

 

go to google and make a search for:

inurl:*.edu inurl:forum

it will list all sites with file name forum in a .edu domain name..

then u can try other filters...

 

http://www.rc.edu/alumni/alumni_gb_entry.php?activeMenu=3

just type in .edu/guestbook and hundreds come up

 

I designed a .edu site and still mantain it would be cake for me to slip some links on there lmao

 

Are .edu links good if so why? i dont understand why really

 

Hi,

I know the importance of have backlinks but could someone explain what is the value of .edu links? And has anyone tried this? And if so, what do you think were the results?

Your advice is appreciated.

.edu/.gov/.mil backlinks are 100 +++ more goods then .com backlinks, because they are all on trust-worthy domain names.

 

Don't think this will help.
Guestbook links are useless

 

They probably have nofollow attribute.

 

The spam is disgusting... makes me sick seeing all the porn sites etc. doing this crap. Sucks even worse that people are advocating guestbook spamming... See what I mean?

 

And with is conclusion ?
Are those backlinks from guestbooks count or not and are they really valuable?

 

Geustbook links are rubbish. Rather get relevant links than waste your time.

 

I have a "relevant" PR6 backlink from an Ivy League .edu site. It sends me a modest amount of traffic (about 120 visitors per month) from just that one free link. It may be my best link.

I would value highly every .edu link you can lay your hands on.

 

Jim4767...thanks for the explanation. That sheds a bit of light on things for me.

Regards,

Sunshine

 

I'm going to create a "presell" type page on my (non-existant) .edu homepage and see if it does any good. I'm doubtful that I'll see any difference, but I'll give it a go.

 

Hope you'll post the results, would be interesting to see.
