PR10 & .edu

I found a .edu blog that is also a PR10 that I can comment on, but of course links are no follow.

I know others will disagree, but I think there is value in NF links, as I have had a few hundred PR5+ blog posts done by hand that ranked 13th me for an easier keyword in less than two weeks.

I just started using the PR10 edu blog and I'm curious to see how effective it is. I do those myself writing and being relevant so they get approved and stick.

Anyone care to share their experience with high PR .edu blogs and how they performed for you?

  • Hi honed,

    Blogs, or websites, do not have PR. PR is assigned to the individual pages of a blog. When you post comments on a popular blog the post page usually ends up in the archives or under a category eventually, and it is that page's PR that weights the value of the link juiced that is passed, if any.

    And yes, pages that are nofollow still offer value since it is only Google that does not pass link juice. Other search engines, like Bing and Yahoo, may still pass link juice on nofollow backlinks.

    Also, even if Google does not pass link juice, if it is a popular blog, you will still get users clicking through and targeted traffic is always valuable.
  • Yes there is a value. nofollow links from high authority sites will give you some points. Specially in wikipedia and in facebook
  • dburk,

    I misspoke/miswrote. It's not a blog, but a website and you can comment on the articles.
  • Mixing of dofollow and nofollow links always helps in link diversity and creates a natural linkbuilding.
  • Whether a dofollow or a nofollow link from a normal page or from a edu site is very helpful for rank development. But I dont think there would be PR10 edu page for commenting... I think u r telling about a page of a edu site which home page PR is 10.

    • That's the thing, it is actually PR10. Scrapebox and SEOMoz confirmed.
  • I never check if the links are no follow or not on blogs. Google will see these links and will certainly add some credibility to your url. What would you think if you seen a site with 500 do-follows and 0 no-follows? I think you need both to ensure your credibility in Google.

    Good luck!

    • Best way to test it is to try it on a couple of sites and see how much (if any) it helps your rankings. Honestly though any PR10 edu link sounds like a good idea to me whether even if it is nofollow.
  • NoFollow links still contribute to your site's SEO, and a backlink from a .edu domain is great because it builds trust rank.
  • Sharing is caring
  • You should do an experiment with this.... like a 90 day challenge.
  • And here's the rub: 4 days later and my comments are not approved.

    However, there are now two comments posted from days earlier than mine, so maybe they are just slow at approvals.

    • If there is no comments there that is approved like a week or two before.Then it is waste of time to try there.

  • There are comments, they seem to take a few days to a week to approve then close them. So it I can get them in before closing, all the better.
