Question on backlinks and anchor text

If I had a chance to make a edu blog post on a website is it okay to just post all the links on my site? I've heard people say .edu is better than regular so it would be okay to spam the crap out of my site with new blog posts with just my site + inner links?

For example:

I post my my site link + all inner links to a blog post on www.dogtraining.com/blog1 without any content.
Then, I post my site link + all inner links again to a new blog post on www.dogtraining.com/blog2 without any content.

If I repeat that 50 times what would happen? They are edu links right?

Ex.www.dogtraining.com/blog50

Forget about anchor text diversity; lets say my site has varied anchor text already and this is just adding to it; does doing what I said above help me in the SERPs?

And a quick question on anchor text - What kind of text do I use in my anchor text? My keyword or what?

    This won't give you any benefit, you might aswell drop 100 of your links in a comment section and get a penalty, you could risk tripping something off Googles end. Edu links are only better because in general they are higher quality domains because their owners deliver great content, otherwise it's no different to a normal domain, a domain or page with authority is better than an edu domain with none.

    I would write a high quality blog post with one link to my index page and two links to internal pages then I would backlink that page with high 20 pagerank links, then get some links elsewhere and repeat after 30 days.

      So your saying that there needs to be some sort of quality content associated with the post in order to get some nice benefit from the edu?

      So when I post a blog comment on a page do I just put my link with my anchor text or do I explain my site, then throw my site + 2 inner links?

      Thanks by the way

        What I am saying is just be careful because your leaving links for rankings which is basically spam. If professor plod doesn't like it and drops a note through Google's letterbox what do you think will happen?

        If you're thinking about scraping all the pages with scrapebox and then going through the whole site spamming your links on every page forget it, Google will break your balls for this they will detect it and you will get a penalty.

        If you're commenting do no more than 3 pages with different keywords on each page and try and make it look relevant or sincre. I always get good results rotating 4/5 keywords on unique pages on never on the same site twice in less than 30 days.

          Okay no spamming; I get it. If there is a .gov or .edu. or .com chance to post a comment or my link in it, I will do what you said with my main site + 1 inner links and some content related to it.

          Thank you

    Set up a little web 2.0 with unique content then everytime you want to comment and link drop use that, otherwise you are leaving yourself and your website at the mercy of the webmaster you have just spammed. Killing blackhat spam is as much a human effort as it is algos. Get one complaint and you might get away with it, get several and you will be deindexed or penalised, just play it smart and don't go ott dropping loads of links to your main site, your better off writing an article on an article directory and linking that up.

      It depends on what type links they are.

      I would do no more than 5 unique social bookmarks to my internal pages per day and probably no more than 1 high pagerank link per day to my index page, just be consistant.

      It doesn't sound alot but you don't need alot of links. Just 100 well placed links can rank you on the first page for any decent terms. If you focus on social too, like getting Youtube subs and FB likes then this will give you a well rounded seo plan.
