Paul is absolutely right. Before we teamed up as partners and bought and took on this forum, I was doing well, but only with article marketing and some PPC. But when I started teaching as a guest speaker at some work shops last year, I met Paul, found out about his Organic SEO prowess, we partnered up and the CBA just took off. We now have 5 very high valued keywords which are racing towards the top of Google page 1 in both Google.co.uk and I have no doubt it won't be many more months before we are dominating Google.com.

The same applies to my blog, which many of your know I post to daily, we have 4 very high value keywords a couple are already on Page 1, the other two not far behind and again our target its to be in the top 5 for each on Page 1 within the next couple of months.

Paul and SEO are like sugar and spice.....

Hi, Paul,
I didn't understand about this .edu domain.
Why I can not buy domain with such extension at GoDaddy.com or NameCheap.com?

This is truly a great offer. Getting a high-powered link from a respectable .edu domain is also great.

WHOA!! That's an awesome strategy I didn't even think of!! Can I fall off my chair several times today?!?! Working on the 20, will PM you once I'm done!

Paul,

First, thanks for this offer. Second, can this site be on any topic and still be relevant to a .edu extension? Yes you give me the name and I will creat it for you and it will be perfectly on topic. If the name is taken I will let you know.

That's a VERY valuable offer! Certainly spurs me into action!

cheers

Hi Ellanis,

It says why in the first sentence of Paul's post.

".edu sites are classed as "Authority" websites in the eyes of the search engines. These domains cannot be bought from any registrar and are only issued to Colleges, Universities or Education Establishments."

A quick wikipedia search reveals;

The domain name edu is a sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. It's name is derived from education, indicating its intended use as a name space for educational institutions, primarily those in the United States.[1] Although not officially mandated for much of the domain's existence, in practice it has been used primarily for U.S.-based four-year universities. Starting in 2001, it was officially restricted to accredited postsecondary institutions and organizations that are accredited by nationally recognized accrediting agencies.

and

Starting on October 29, 2001, only post-secondary institutions and organizations that are accredited by an agency on the U.S. Department of Education's list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies are eligible to apply for a edu domain.[3] Most such agencies accredit only US institutions, so very few non-US institutions qualify, and edu remains almost exclusively a top-level domain of the United States.

Sounds good to me!

Regards

Mark

I do not disagree that links are important, but have you done any actually testing to confirm that Google gives more weight to a .edu versus a .com

I have read lots of opinions on this issue but never seem to find any actually testing to back it up.

Either way I appreciate the offer!.

Yes I have done lots of testing with these links but don't get confused here, you will not be linking back to your own sites from these. You will simply be using them as "Link Bait" in order to get the top ranking sites in your niche linking to you :0).

Hi Paul,i sent the pm.
can't wait to get mine

Paul, this sounds very interesting. And I'll certainly be taking you up on your offer. But first, a couple of questions about domain name selection:

1) Do you recommend a niche-specific name? or can we go for an industry-wide search term? e.g., Most of the products I can generate, as a legitimate authority, will relate to Real Estate. Thus using the (very broad) term "RealEstate" in an .edu domain name suggests itself. Yes you can pick whatever you like and at this time of writing realestate is available :0)

2) Are there marketing/sales limitations (or "conventions") - real or implied - in working under an .edu domain? Or should we use this primarily as a lead-generation vehicle? Nope as long as you don't abuse the domain then it is fine. I will be sending you the TOS via the PM. But to make thing clear and easy use it as "link Bait" for the top ranking sites. Offer them a link on your .edu site in return for one on their site and you will AMAZED at the reaction you get :0)

Phil

Hello Sandra,

MY SQL is a database, here is a pretty good explaination.

bluemoosetech.com/php-and-mysql.php?jid=9&title=What%20is%20MySQL?

I'm not allowed to do links yet. don't forget the 3 w's Get to 20 posts and you can do links :0) nearly there now :0) Ah and you will get a .edu domain also :0)

Interesting! I happen to work at an .edu, but I'm pretty sure there are rules about making money off of my personal website. Haven't looked into it or updated my website in years, though I was on it just the other day. I wonder if it might be possible to use an extra .edu link to help things along too?

Thanks!

dbk

What is the .edu you work at? Can you PM me the details as I might be able to help you along :0)

Paul, I've been wondering for awhile now, exactly how to use .edu links and have never seen it discussed (other than the fact that they carry a lot of weight with Google). I now have access to one, and at this point I have nothing on the page.

Do the same Google rules apply as far as having plenty of relevant content on the page? For example, an article (or several articles) with a couple of anchor links to our site. (I am assuming that we can't just have a list of links to our sites on there and nothing else). Use your .edu as "link Bait". Contact the top ranking sites in your niche and offer them a link on your .edu in return for a link on there site. I get around 70% reply success when I use this method, they all want a link from a .edu. In the new EMMC I will be showing you the email templates that I send etc

Can we have content with links totally unrelated to other content on the page? In other words, use the .edu site for a number of different niches? Or is it basically 1 .edu site=1 niche only? If you want 3 .edu sites then you need 60 posts and so on :0)

What do we need to do (if anything) to get Google to find our .edu site? Again don't worry about that use them as "link Bait"

What is your suggestion for getting the most out of our .edu site? "link bait"

Love your strategy of swapping links on your .edu site for links from a top ranked site on Google! And thanks for the generous offer to forum members!! You answered your own question, love it :0)
