Pageoneresults pointed

.edu is for "Educational" which is a Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) - Not associated with a country. However, registrants are limited to USA institutions.

I dont want to divert the topic. Everyone is thinking that .edu is a trusted TLD and so I want to prove that .edu can also be poisoned. As pageoneresults pointed .edu is not limited to US institutions.

I will try to find that small colleges using .edu and will sticky it to pageoneresults on one day or other.

Anyway, as pageoneresults said, .edu inbound link may have a slighter edge over .com inbound link. But it is one of the 1000+ factors Google use in PageRank system.

In Bigdaddy update, .edu websites are being given some edge over .com. I lost my #1 postion for a keyword to a .edu website. So I think .edu website as a edge over a .com website in Bigdaddy update. Thats for sure. I request other members to confirm this.

If .edu inbound link edge is proved, then for sure all will rent links from .edu sites in one way or other. After all we are very much used to game any system available.
