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.

Wow, tnx for this list really. I don’t know what to say else. And 200 of them. Like I was dreaming to find something like this. Thank you very much really.
Words fail me… This should be one of the best backlink posts i’ve ever seen. Thank you tons mate! I’ll start using those forums immediately!
Thanks for sharing this list of .edu forums.
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.
To enter sandbox? What does this mean?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
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.

I dont think its called entering sandbox. Its called being penalised by Google,IMHO
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
I just given PR2 in the last update
But now when I check it on some PR checker site it shows 0
Anybody knows what’s going on??
Adi, Make sure you are checking PR from a good site. I will suggest you to check it from here: http://checkpagerank.net/
Sometimes the tool bars show wrong even the tool that Typhoon suggests, But mostly the PR won’t decrease most of times.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
What is the relation with .edu site? Do you mean your PR decreased after post the link on some .edu site?
Cheers for the list Typhoon.
Will download it now!
Thanks for the appreciation DIY Dave.
Downloaded. Thanks for the edu forum lists.

I am happy that you got what you were looking for on the web, you got here.
good article mate,very interesting
How great you share, thanks
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much!
Anyone found it useful for his rankings already?
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.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
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.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
No Bro. .edu, .gov and .org always have high value.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
thanks this is new thing for me i never try EDU forms .i will try and find how much it works for my blog
Ah, i become understand how in some forum people willing to pay for a list of .EDU do-follow blog. So .EDU is special in google eyes.
Ok then, blog walking on .EDU site will be good. Just wait an info from me about it affect to my blog. Anyway thanks for the list. It’s so worthy, actuallly you can sell it for some buck on forum such DP or WF, but you giving it to use for free, thanks…!!!
.-= akira07´s last blog ..July Contest Participation =-.
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
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
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.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Thats basically for identifying for what niche you are dealing with.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
nIce! I never knew here is a different weight for links from different categories. Thanks!
I think I might even find a backlink from a .edu site, since my blog is about education as well.
.-= Tim´s last blog ..What are the best universities in Norway? =-.
You’ve dropped the MOTHERLOAD of all lists Typhoon, many don’t even realize how powerful these authoritative links are. Your site = bookmarked!
Is this technique still powerful since there is so many update of google policy?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
It doesn’t go invalid Bro. But may be these .edu sites stop giving links.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
Great list. I’ve been searching for this list for a long time.

Thanks for this post, i just made some comments on this dot edu sites. I hope they accept it.
Wow great, so you’re practicing it? Well, i would like to see the improvement of your blog after post on .edu site, i’m waiting for it

You are great Bro. I just wished to go for searching those sites but you immediately produced a list of .edu sites that produced me a big
in my face. Thanks buddy. I will start link building at these sites.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
So you’re in searching for edu in the first? You’re so lucky by finding this article. Well, this article is old article, you need to check and don’t be dissapointed if there is a .edu site which already closed.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
I cant get u AKira. Do u mean some of the sites here may have been closed?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
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.
Hey Akira, sold it?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
Great list! I already downloaded the list and already working with it. Thanks!
Dang Lovin the list! EDU links are pretty tough to find, so for putting this together some effort went into it. Thanks!
I have already collect some good .edu site after lots of hard research, as you say by searching on google using the search operator site:.edu “make money online”, you can not get the specific .edu site. On the search results you do not get any site that relevant to make money online, the results are displayed if someone already made comment on that blog by using keyword “make money online”, I even use the search operator “keyword site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -”you must be logged in”, for filtering the search, but even not get good .edu site that is out of spam.

Typhoon thanks for a great resource these edu sites could be a great tool for building juicy backlinks as long as they are used wisely, by that I mean, don’t try to build your backlinks too quickly as google will surely notice and penalise you for it. The rule is, use the links over a period of time so as to look more natural.
I agree that .edu back links carry a lot of weight with the Google search engines. However, I find getting them to be slow and tedious..
Great list of .edu backlinks! They do definitely provide some upward movement in the SERPs and should be a part of any SEO’s backlink arsenal. Thanks for the great list of links!
Thank a lot for sharing this gr8 list ! Hope i would get powerful increase in page rank because i have registered new blog just a month ago . Hope you again share .gov list
