Links from Education Sites

Getting links from .edu sites can help your rankings. The easiest way to get backlinks from them is by posting comments on blogs hosted on .edu sites.

Sounds great and all but how do we find such a site.

I search for the following on Google:

site:.edu inurl:blog dogs “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in”

This may seem kind of scary so I am going to break it down for you pierce by piece.

site:.edu – We are only looking for domains ending in .edu

inurl:blog – We can greatly narrow our search results by adding this which only includes the word blog in the web address.

dogs – We only want blogs about dogs. Start with keywords that are general.

“post a comment” – We want pages that have the text “post a comment” as they are the most likely to allow comments.

-”comments closed” – This tells Google to exclude sites with the text “comments closed”.

-”you must be logged in” – This tells Google to exclude sites with the text “you must be logged in”
