A lot of people online wonder whether or not EDU domain links are worth getting. There are even those that suggest EDU links are the best ever links. But you can also find people who think these links are useless.

To be honest, both arguments are true. Today, there are even students to sell links to online marketers, which make the EDU link spammy. If a student has a website, there is easy money to be made. Some marketers or even send student’s e-mails offering them money to put a link on their website.

Buying links in this fashion are frowned upon by the search engines and they are aware of it. Search engines are pretty advance, and they will be able to determine whether links on an EDU blog are relevant.

If you do, find a link from an EDU domain, you can get benefits from it if the link is relevant, and the posts you have linked to is relevant may even bring you traffic. The best type of link from an EDU domain is one where a writer of a post references your website.

If you get a genuine link, from an EDU blog, the search engines will inspect it for its relevance. The search engine will give the link a rating, depending on how relevant it is to the site it is on. If the link is deemed to be genuine, you are likely to get a high ranking from the search engines.
