Interesting, take a look at this website
http://wiep.net/link-value-factors/#31
#8 TLD (.com, .edu, etc.) -based on TLD alone-
I hope this might help some of the questions on here.

I though the whole idea of PR is that the closest you are linked to a .gov website the higher your PR is.
meaning if you get 5 links from .gov websites you have a very high pr..
so thats also not true?

sorry if no one agree with me on this that edu links worth more than any other links like .com or .org and no matter what matt may say but this is not true . i have a site that is on google first page for about 200 edu backlinks only where my second friend he have about 20000 links that are pr0 so yes it does make a huge impact and my site is only 3 month old and there is 22 million competing on my keywords. thanks for the time

I found this information very useful. I was under the impression that an edu link was more powerful than a link from a dot com link with equal page rank.

Interesting reading, as I remember Google’s way is primarily that you share some importance of the page linking to you, so the key is to get quality links from high PR, relevant pages.

I beg to differ. .gov and .edu links are counted higher based on fairly reliable evidence.

This is very nice! I think that if google will find out about this they will penalize the website involved in the transaction.

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.

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)
