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.

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.
