.EDU Backlink Benefits

As many people probably know backlinks are the bread and butter of successfully ranking any site high in search engines, such as Google. What you may not know is that not all backlinks are created equal; .EDU backlinks are among the strongest - but why?

There are backlinks from authority pages, backlinks that are DoFollow and NoFollow, those that come from authority sites and PRN/A pages, links with and without anchor text and many more variables that determine the weight of a backlink.

However it has long been known that some of the most powerful backlinks you can obtain are .EDU Backlinks, or backlinks from sites with the TLD of .edu.

These are powerful and provide great benefits both because they almost always come from a high authority site (what do you think is going to be a higher authority site - Harvard.edu or my-dog-in-lipstick.blogspot.com?) and also because only purchasing agents for accredited US universities may obtain a .EDU domain as they managed and manually reviewed and given out by EduCase.

So, if you're looking for a boost in your search engine rankings look no further than some great EDU Backlink lists.
