How Important Are. EDU Links

Many people involved in search engine optimization feel that links coming from .edu domain names are more valuable than links from a .com, .net, .org or virtually any other domain name extension. Well know we know some new information that may change the way people look at .edu links. 

A Googler has explained that links coming from .edu domain names do not receive greater attention than a link from any other domain name extension. 

A reason for why people may have believed .edu links are more valuable may be due to the reason that many .edu domain names have high Google PageRank or rank well. But then again the authority of PageRank via the Google Toolbar is a whole other subject. In short, if you are trying to get links don't just focus on .edu sites. The Internet is filled with valuable web sites willing to link to yours.
