    You can not sell your services here publicly or privately until you have contributed something in this community in terms of number of posts and number of days. This post of yours is worth a nice infraction.

    How to Build One Way .edu Links

    Whats so special about .edu links?

    As you all know or might have heard, Google and other search engines give .edu links more weight, as .edu sites belong to educational institutions which and thus are generally authoritative and trusted sites.
    How to get .edu links?

    Most educational sites allow and even encourage students and professors to blog, usually giving them a sub domain on the universities website. These blogs are the basis of building one way backlinks from .edu websites. All you need to do is, find these blogs, and comment on them, thus earning a .edu back link.
    How to find these Blogs:

    Here is the process of finding these blogs.

    1. Go to www.google.com
    2. Type in the following in your search bar

    site:.edu inurl:blog


    This tells google to return all .edu sites, which have the term blog in their url. Basically, this returns all blogs whose domain extension is .edu. As you can see, there are about 1,200,000 results. You will want to trim the fat.

    The problem with some of these blogs are that you are not allowed to post a comment, and incase of some blogs, comments are closed, or you need to be registered to post a comment. We will want to remove all such blogs. How do we do this? Well, adding “post a comment”, will remove all those blogs where you are not allowed to post a comment. then adding a parameter: minus and “comments closed” will remove all those blogs where comments are closed, then adding another parameter: a minus and “you must be logged in” will remove all those blogs where comments can only be made by registered users. Your search query should look something like this :

    site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in”

    This will tell Google to return all blogs on .edu sites that you can post comments on. As you can see, this has narrowed it down to 180,000 results.
    If you want even targeted results, just append you niche to the end of the search query, in double quotes. For example, if my niche is seo, the query will look like this:

    site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “seo”

    This result will give you targeted .edu blogs. In this example, appending the keyword has given 265 results.All you need to do is comment on them, and you will earn a backlink.

    That a load of nonsense! You obviously missed the video where Matt Cutts made it clear that Google do not give any extra weight to a .edu compared to other domains.

    Matt Cutts offers only opinions about the algorithm which 'decides' which site should out-rank which. He may say that a link from a .edu isn't any different than a .com but that is just pure malarkey. After all, the actual algorithm will never be revealed, leaving us webmasters to only guess about which factors are the most important.

    For example, most .edus have been around for over 10 years and we all know that established sites rank better than new ones being that the Domain Age plays a factor in the algorithm. (most) .edu websites also have thousands of quality relevant inbound links (another part of the algorithm). Matt Cutts can say whatever he wants, he works for google, but in my experience an .edu link is MUCH more valuable than any other (save for .gov) when the Site, the Link Anchor, and the Target Site directly relate (and are relevant).

    I would stay away from trying to 'spam' the .edu blogs/websites with comments, these types of .edu links are NOT valuable at all and in all likelihood will get deleted sooner than later. If you are trying to get .edu links be creative, seek out relevant websites whose visitors would actually benefit from your link (and would actually visit), take the time to contact these site webmasters and ask for an inclusion. Many .edus have Faculty pages who provide personal links, etc. Offer to redesign a particular departments website, find Student Webpages and send an email asking for a link. For example, if your website is about 'Pet Care and Supplies' search out the .edu pages/sites that focus on Animal Studies, Research, etc. offer to donate a set dollar amount per month for your link to be active. Creativity is the key!

    You can either do one of two things. Use custom search strings to find .gov and .edu blogs in Google, or you can check my sig, its a product by Lynn Terry, and there are some 5k backlink opportunities in there including a ton of .gov and .edu backlinks as well.
