Need Some Claification

Hi all,

I have a question that has been on my mind for a while now. It concerns edu and gov backlinks. Now I pretty much know what back links are but when it comes to these puppies well I just don't know what to make of them.

I know how to go and get the links but my question is what do you do with them? For example...

In one of the WSO's I purchased there was a back link to a .edu site. When I went to the site I looked and quite frankly couldn't inderstand the writing.

Found out it was in Romainian. After I had google translate a post from the site it basically said that any discussions had to be in Romainian. Oh and in the profile area there was no place to put a keyword for the anchor text. So am I missing something here?

Thanks for reading,
George

Hi George,

If it was a forum, they are suggesting you register an account with the forum, set up your profile, and in your profile information leave a link to your site, perhaps in the "Website" field that alot of forums have in the profile info. You don't have to 100% of the time leave anchor text for your backlink. As they say "a link is a link" so if you can leave a link to your site without the anchor text, it's not a huge issue. Hope this helps.

Bill

That's correct. In most forums, the profile page can be accessed without having to log into the forum. In these situations, google is able to crawl the page and see your link.

That must be a forum! .edu links are hard to come by but most of them are forum profile links and you have to make a account and place the link on your signature or there will be website URL option! Try not to comment on the forum or it may ban you then!

  Hi there,
  
  maybe I can take some of the mystery out of this subject.
  
  Sorry to contradict you Shiva, but .EDU forums are very easy to come by
  
  Here goes: Just google the following
  
  site:.edu "Powered by vBulletin"
  
  There you have a lot of edu forums.
  Now all you have to do is to register and leave a link to your site in your login info. Sometimes you can even leave an anchor text.
  
  Don't forget to ping the new link using something like PINGY.COM (its free)

  Wow for some reason I always thought in order for it to be a back link you had to put it in your sig but you had to post to the forum in order to get the back link.
  
  Thanks everyone for clearing that up

  Edited 2/3/11 jeen I was re-reading the post you made and you mentioned to ping the new link...forgive my stupidity but not real sure what link you are talking about. I would think there would be no place to ping unless you post.
  
  Am I correct?
  
  Appreciate the clarification.
  George
