    SEO links from .edu domains

    Are they still weighted heavier in the SE's algos than normal TLD sites?

              Looks like google has been dropping a bunch of these lately, at least for terms I'm targeting.

                      I would still think that a few links from PR6-8 pages should do good.

                          I wouldn't do that.
                          Not to mention, I am not talking about some random script exploits / comment/blog spam. I am talking about legitimate links.

                                              DjiXas i think you missed the point. There was lot's of spammers in yahoo/google from hacked student account pages (on .edu) domains, and they were ranked really well with high competetive keywords. Only recently google started to drop them one by one, so i think they lowered the importance of .edu tdl

                                                      Hi,

                                                      No, I got it. I'm just saying that TDL doesn't matter as long as it's not country related. All are the same. If you would register one .com, one .info and one .edu at same time, they would be equal and rank the same.

                                                          Totally right, google stopped giving any additional value to links from .edu sites many months ago. This doesn't mean a link from an authority site is useless, but getting links on orphan .edu pages doesn't really help any more.

You can get some serious love from link from the right type of page.... If the linking page is well linked, especially from other .edu pages and is not buried away from the root it can have alot of power.

There was lot's of spammers in yahoo/google from hacked student account pages (on .edu) domains, and they were ranked really well with high competetive keywords. Only recently google started to drop them one by one, so i think they lowered the importance of .edu tdl
