I don't think he mentioned anyone telling them that there's high-value win EDU back links. Maybe he knows from experience such as I do that you can get significant results when with edu backlinks.

Have you had personal negative experience to backup your statement? If so I would be interested in finding out more information.

Thanks

I'm not Mike, but I could try to give you a good answer: it does not take much brain power to create an .edu link. If you are a college student, you can do that for free.

So, basically, all you have to do is pay a college student a few bucks and he will push your website on Page 1? Ridiculous, right?

The reason why you had great results is probably because your .edu websites already had some authority.

There seems to be some confusion here. I was asking for his personal experience that led him to this conclusion. I have no interest in finding the reasoning behind a theory.

Through topiaservisse scientific investigations to find efficient methods of ranking we have discovered EDU back links have significant value when implemented into your back linking strategy.

We come to the conclusion that they hold significance as it only takes a couple proper links to have a effect in seo rank compared to most other links. We also se we also see this withe this with gov.

I never said they had a negative value. I just said they are nothing special.

No credible SEO will tell you that they carry some magical ranking power over equal links from .com's, .net's, or any other TLD.

The only people continuing to push the myth around that .edu and .gov links carry more value over other links are low quality link builders and people listening to "gurus" who are regurgitating crap from 5 years ago.

Nothing magical but supported bye testing I know they are more valuable to a degree. I was just asking if you had anything supporting your clam "equal links"

And I can not agree with your secant statement.

A link that is from an EDU domain is no better than an equal link from a .com, .net, .org, .info, or .anythingelse.

EDU links carry no special ranking benefit.

That is what I was representing.

Yes please understand that I'm only looking for any validation to your statement that you can provide other then just restating it as a self proclaimed fact. Mabe you did a split test or maybe you can provide where your getting this idea from.

Its ok if you do not have this I just can take what you say as fact if you do not have it ... that's all. I'm not arguing you I'm just stating what I have experienced as I stand here open to hear if you have any ti share .....

Thanks

If you are linking to quality edu sites then of course, you would be getting benefit, but make sure you are doing it naturally.

"Buy 500 .edu links here for massive ranking power"

It's what "seo gurus" use to sell their packages to people who don't understand SEO. Edu links naturally carry more weight because the organizations behind them have consistently shown authority over several years, hence their site's are usually authorative.

If hardvard.edu was on hardvard.com, it would carry the same weight. This myth will never be conquered.

Actually it's very hard to buy .gov and .edu sites, so i wouldn't bother myself with that.

Registering .EDU domain is not as easy like .com or other domain extensions. Same applies for the .Gov domain also, its even more difficult for a person to register. As a consequence you will never find real .EDU/.GOV pbn. Actually there are very limited techniques out there to acquire .edu or .gov backlink.
