This is the ninth post in The Link Building Cookbook series that shows you the best techniques to build links to your websites and blogs.
While there are hundreds of forums running on .edu domains, few allow anyone to register and post comments threads with links to your websites. Listed below are four university forums that allow you to register and get free links to your website. To many, this sounds like a huge waste of time as all of the new posts will be PR0, but over time it will certainly be beneficial. I recommend spending 1-2 hours building links from these forums when you have some free time. Spamming them is not what is intended, please contribute something to the forum posts, as they are being kind enough to give you a link. If any blatant spamming continues, I will remove this post in its entirety.

Though I think edu links are overrated I might spend some time on these.
Pretty good idea….are the backlinks dofollow in these forums?

Great tips once again. Thanks,

This seems like a dishonest way of increasing your PageRank and generate traffic. However, I am glad things like this are discussed out in the open for the people who manage can do the appropriate filtering mechanisms. Thanks for the heads up
My research group at MIT created and maintains the *removed* website that is listed in this post. The Scratch site is intended to help children and teens develop as creative thinkers. I find it deeply disturbing and unethical that you are encouraging people to insert irrelevant links into our discussion forums. Please delete the URL of the *removed* forums from your post.
Thanks for removing our website!
i think some site owners have already removed shout boxes and what not because of posts like this. but it would be a dang shame to see this tut disappear.

PLz share your link building tips if you know some
http://forum.adison.edu is hacked and defunct?
Seems like it, bummer.
I believe that .edu links do in fact increase your rankings in the search engines. However, they are very hard to acquire. The end result however, I believe would be worth it.
Those sites unfortunately no longer work.
When my daughter starts college at UC Berkeley, I’m going to TRY to convince her to start a web site or blog (about weddings, of course!). Her page will have 5 links out, and MINE will be one of them…..Muahahhaahaha (Dr Evil laugh).
Hi, please share some of your link building techniques. I would appreciate it.
Do you have any other or know of any other .edu or .gov forums to post on? Where did you find that original list btw? I don’t think they work anymore.
I saw the EDU forum, and did post there. But my post was not a spam type of comment. They were asking about consumer finance, and today’s financial situation. My page rank fell from pr4 to pr3 after the next index!!
