Intro

Mailbag

  • @thatrobguy : "Many SEO experts believe that links from .edu domains are very influential.  Their value comes in part because they're tough to get--most educational institutions carefully manage the content that gets posted to their sites. However, there's one easy way to get a link on an edu site - alumni directories.  I set up profiles on my undergraduate and graduate school alumni directories and was able to put a link up to my company's awesome baby gifts, That Baby DVD and CD ."
