Buy 100’s of .edu & .gov Links
I just received an email from the site (or was forwarded it) from the site I discussed earlier for selling .edu links. It appears that a third party (SEOer) is involved in the project and has some affiliation with Adison University — or this person is the webmaster for Adison University. Here’s part of the email:
50 Permanent links on .edu - .gov and .com/.net/.org sites for $300
250 Permanent links on .edu - .gov and .com/.net/.org sites for $1500
Individual links on .edu - .gov sites at $10 each - minimum of 10 links
There are certainly more cost effective ways of building links. I have to say that this idea is certainly ingenious, and I’ve also have noticed that there are a lot of .edu links already sold. By the way, I hope no one that reads this blog actually believes these links are more valuable than any other TLD links (.com, .net, .org, etc.). Matt Cutts wrote the following:
Typically, our policy is: a link is a link, is a link; wherever that link’s worth is, that is the worth that we give it. Some people ask about links from DMOZ, links from .edu or links from .gov, and they say: “Isn’t there some sort of boost? Isn’t a link better if it comes from a .edu?” The short answer is: no, it is not. It is just .edu links tend to have higher PageRank, because more people link to .edu’s or .gov’s.
I hope this settles the myth.
Yes again… I believe your comments. If someone claims to get you edu links, then no doubt they will get you a link, but the value doesn’t have any extra weight.
Yet… as you know they charge extra for the privilege. Do a little research as I’ve been on and off this website for about an hour and a half. Find one web address that has a edu link from the ‘edu’ link company…
For example type in google ‘blogs.adison.edu/reviews’ and explore until you find a link to an external web address. Double check with link:www.netmovers.net and see how many edu backlinks there are.
None… Check yourself I tested about 5. Google are ignoring certain edu sites.
I was ready to spend $500 on edu links… But each and every agency I’ve searched offer the same results. Try link:www.EduTextLink.com… If they claim hundred of edu links for ‘your’ site; why have they only got 30 edu sites for their own website? (1,000’s more in yahoo… but only 30 edu’s in google)

Hey Phil,
Google analyzes every link that is indexed but they don’t display or “tell” of every one. Yahoo is much more “truthful” on this issue.
This is very nice! I think that if google will find out about this they will penalize the website involved in the transaction.
