Success Rates for Link Solicitation from .EDU

BarryWheeler · 07-07-2011, 07:26 PM

I run some very specialized sites and have very little opportunity to build links from related sites as they are very limited.

Many of the sites with information about my topic are .edu libraries or research facilities at universities.

Anyone with any success rates in soliciting links from such sites?

If you have been successful, was it a difficult sell to get a link?

I got one from a PR4 EDU page, in that case it was a page listing websites relevant to the topic where you had to apply for inclusion.

The more genuinely useful/informative your site is, the better the chance an EDU webmaster will agree to list it.

Try contacting the webmasters of those edu sites if your site is all about quality they might link to your site. Thematic links are hyped too much in field of SEO. Although thematic links are good but still you can get links from high PR quality websites/webpages to get rankings and PR.
