The Advantage Of Backlinks From .edu Sites
By Vanessa A. Doctor
At present, a lot of Web users are in a rush to get some .EDU backlinks.
Now, why are they in a rush to acquire this stuff? It's simple.
Since websites ending in .EDU are considered trusted sites by Google,
they are generally credible, and often webmasters think that a link from
an .EDU page with PageRank is more valuable than a link from another
page with the same PageRank.
.EDU Backlinks Carry Greater Search Engine Weight

Backlinks From .edu Sites
|
Today, it is generally accepted that .edu and .gov backlinks carry a
larger weight for search engine algorithms. Despite the fact that
search engine giant Google has never admitted it, most SEO and
online marketing analysts confirm that .edu and .gov links outperform
other extensions in terms of search ranking and leverage. There are
several ways to collect those links, and they usually depend on
whether your blog or site has content that is relevant to educational
and governmental websites or not.
How Would I Be Able To Get A .edu Backlink?
The first step in acquiring a .edu or .gov backlink that points to your
website, is to locate sites related to your topic ending with those
extensions. One way would be to use the Google operator site:.edu,
and site:.gov combined with the keywords of your blog.
This should enable you to find an extensive list of such sites. Once
you have a list of sites, try exploring them and select the ones you
think would have a higher probability of sharing some external links
with your blog. Lastly, contact the webmaster of those sites and point
them to the content on your blog that could be relevant and valuable to
those sites. It is always a good idea to link first to the sites before
requesting the backlink.
Look For Sites or Blogs That Have Similar Content To Your Site
By using the Google operator site:.edu,site:.gov and the keywords of
your blog, you should be able to locate an extensive list of sites related
to your keyword. Those operators would filter and show you only sites
from .EDU or .GOV domains related to your keyword. An example
would be, typing these in google: site:.edu "keyword",
or site:.gov "keyword". Remember to notify the webmaster and tell
them about your blog, link to them first and then ask for permission to
get linked on theirs.
Look For .EDU Blogs or Forums
In searching for .edu blogs, you could also use the Google operators
too. With the following operators typed in Google, you could limit the
Google search to blogs or forums with the .edu extension related to
your keyword.
Ex: site:.edu inurl:blog "keyword"
Once you're in, do your best to participate in the forums and
discussions. And it's important that you don't SPAM, since this would
be highly unethical. Then after, you may leave your link there.
Aside from the methods mentioned earlier, there are also other ways
to get a link to your site from an .EDU website. One good example
would be to design or sponsor a theme for a blogging engine, and
hope that an .EDU page will use it, which happens sometimes.
