How to get edu links

[Join us @ facebook]

As you may know there are many SEO specialists who believe that links from .edu domains can increase your pagerank and trustrank with google. Personally I don't really care about pagerank, but I do care for SERPs, so I would love to know how to get links from edu sites.

One simple method is to search something like that in Google and you'll find many edu blogs where you can post comments. But as comments are usually rel="nofollow" this wont help.

Does anyone here knows any way to do this? I am sure that there are many ways to get edu links.

you need to offer a link from a signature that has more than 100 posts, that is it.

Oh yes now I remember. This one can be a scam (or the owner can remove that section in the future)

Do you know any other way to get edu links? I think I am going to buy an ebook on the subject.

Will send you a link nick

Thanks

I have my .edu link from the college I graduated from. They list graduates' websites on the alumni pages. I've only got that one - don't know if it has made that much of a difference, but I do know that it got indexed fairly quickly for both my name, company name and as a backlink.

I am not sure, but there are many well known seo professionals who say that work, so I guess it is

If your client wants to really get their OWN .edu then check this site

But I think its difficult for a non-us based institution to get one.

It's not that difficult as long as you're a university I remember an article froma few years ago where one Swedish university got a .edu domain, but today when I visited I got redirected to some weird page: www.mm.edu So I guess you can somehow keep your .edu domain if you loose your university status. 

Maybe we can buy www.mm.edu from them?
