Generating Powerfull Backlinks from EDU Forums Including 200+ EDU Forums List
Nowadays, a lot of Web users(webmasters) are in a rush to get some .edu backlinks. Now you might be thinking, why are they in a rush to acquire these .edu backlinks ?
This is because websites ending in .edu are considered trusted sites by Search Engines specially Google, they are generally credible, and most webmasters think that a link from an .edu page with any PageRank is more valuable than a link from another page with the same PageRank.
Today, it is generally accepted that .edu 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 outperform other extensions in terms of search ranking and leverage.
How Would I Be Able To Get A .edu Backlink?
The first step in acquiring a .edu backlink that points to your website, is to locate websites related to your topic ending with those extensions. One way would be to use the Google and Search as: site:.edu combined with the keywords of your blog.
For example; site:.edu “Make Money Online”
This should make you to search an extensive list of such .EDU sites. Once you have a list of sites, try exploring through them and select the ones you think would have a higher probability of sharing some external links with your blog.
Once you’re in, do your best to participate in the forums and discussions if they have. And it’s important for you that you don’t SPAM, since this would be highly unethical. Then after, you may leave your link there.
If you are a lazy guy and don’t wish to do all this searching then I have a gr8 news for you. I have collected a list of almost 200+ .EDU forums which you can have a look and try exploring them for your benefits.

The “.edu” links are probably the most difficult to obtain. My daughter is attending a University of California, and I’ve been begging her to start a club or join an existing club and then make a few blog posts at the club’s web site, with my web site in the siggy, of course!

Wow, you have just opened my eyes. I did not know about the .edu backlinking websites. I think it might be hard for me to get backlinks for my site as it is more personal than a specific niche.
Thanks for this info, I guess I will have to do some homework on this.

.edu has lots of importance..many people buy those links on forums like digitalpoint…

Nice thinking, typhoon. But anyone who generates a lot of edu links altogether might get his site banned from Google.
Links from edu sites ares not only good for page rank but also for SEO, only if they come over time. Tens of such (artificial edu) links within a short time span can be dangerous.

That could be a bad thing to hear so we must be aware of what we do and maintain the consistency. Right?

Google hate people who get crazy on collecting link, an it’s also with link from .edu site. So, make sure, even you have 200+ list of .edu site, don’t collecting link from it like crazy (f.e posting 150 times per day). If you not follow this advice, be prepared to enter sandbox.

I think it’s not permanent banned but jumped into sandbox list. If your site jumped into it, your site will not listed on the SERP for a while.

Yes Bro. He is not just lying. You can simply know that educational sites are of good value to anyone. So its not be proved that getting back links from it can be worthy one.

But i’m sure there is some change on search engine policy since there is already too many .edu site. It’s happen on all things which become popular. I’m sure, in the past, .com is the most se friendly, but it’s getting popular day by day and it value is start to decreased.
I’m hope an update for this matter.

But Akira, most don’t have blogs with .edu extension. They are only for educational purposes. But another thing is here. Getting .org backlink is equally worthy too

I wonder why search engine have different treatment for different extension. Oh, .org is also great? Is it better than .edu?
Anyway, of course, mostly .edu is stand for education site. It’s strange for making money online or health blog with .edu as it extension.

I think I might even find a backlink from a .edu site, since my blog is about education as well.

This article is created 9 month ago, so please be understand if some link is no longer active. Well, what i can advice is, don’t collecting too much link from .edu site on short time. Google will treat it as link farming, even if you make normal comment. I’m already many times said about sandbox. You can learn by googling it.
The question for this time is : Is .edu site link still worth?

Yes it is. If you create a thread on DigitalPoint stating that you want to sell .edu blog list. You will get lots of people purchasing it.
