If you are a blogger then you must be aware of the importance of having at least one .edu backlink for your blog. If you are not aware of what .edu backlink can do for you then I am explaining it here and in this post I am going to tell you how to search for .edu sites which allows you to comment and by that way, you can earn a valuable backlink for your blog. I hope you will like it as usual!
First thing first. Well, .edu is a domain which can be owned only by the education institute so they are not in a bunch like .com domains. Normally, .edu have better PR and search engine rankings so getting a backlink from those blogs can get you too a high PR and a better search engine rankings.
Due to spammers, some of the sites having .edu domain has decided to make their links nofollow instead of dofollow. So try your luck! In this video I am showing you the method of searching Google for .edu sites which allows you to comment on their articles in which you can include an HTML code with a link to your site.
