Hi there We know these days get a blog at .edu area is not that hard: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=inurl:wp-signup.php+site:edu do the search and sign up, that's it. Just want to get some ideas here 1: Will your own .edu free blog get Rank quick? because normally your blog will get back link from the blog system homepage after write a new post 2: Will your link from your free .edu blog more powerful than other link on .com? 3: How often or how easy your free blog get delete even not spam? Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences
