Finding EDU sites for SEO commenting

According to popular articles, edu and .gov links are some of the most important ones you can get as they are considered more important than blog profiles due to their authority.  Other articles strenuosly deny that some links are more important than others.  Clearly any site with high visitor numbers will have the potential of more traffic although most webmasters spam blogs for the linking rather than the content.

Commenting on links should be in relation to the blog content.  This is clearly more time consuming since it requires the poster to read and give a thoughtful response.

If edu links do indeed carry more weight, then it may be worth the extra work.

Finding edu links for commenting is easy.  Just remember that if the comments are automatic posting then clearly they will be spammed meaning that the quantity of comments will be spammed and no one will ever read them.  The power therefore relies solely on the anchor link.

With that in mind rather than troll through edu links for automatic posting simply put this into Google and you will get a list of edu links with open commenting.

site:edu inurl:blog "leave a comment" -"comments closed" -"you must be logged in to comment"

This is a command to Google to take you to the comments page where the hyphens represent the negative - ie not comments close and not logged in to comment.

Repeat this with .gov pages substituting the edu part of the command.

If edu links carry more weight, than this is a worthy exercise.  If they don't, then they will still count so its certainly not wasted.

I am experimenting with Free Ads in this exercise.  I get as much traffic from searches of Free Classifieds as I do of Free Ads, despite that the first is on page 1 and the latter on page 2 of Google search results.  The reason for this is the proportion of searches on each keyword.  Free Ads gets at least twice as many.  Its worth rechecking keyword tools as the results change.

I have neglected Ads as a keyword despite the relatively low competition and the high search numbers.  This was certainly due to inexperience when I first considered the main keyword of the site.  I was remiss in not revisiting keyword searches more often and of not being more imaginative in what I put in the keyword search tool.

Having readdressed this I have several new keywords to market - edu links, here I come!
