[Case Study] LAM SON on .edu website
- Thread starter jon_xx_x
- Start date
The top 10 is kinda split. Half commercial with sales pages, products, etc. Other half being gov edu sites. But all the gov and edu sites are mostly just one page sites that rank crazy high based on authority from the main domain. The goal is for the site to have similar content wise to the #1 site, without the commercial look. And it may not get nearly as many visits as #1 site, but that's just for one keyword. The reason why I hope people link to it is because it's going to look like a scientific and educational website. If someone is writing a blog post or article, they're much more likely to reference a .edu site than a commercial website. That's just my thoughts atleast.

Statistically I don't see it making sense. Assuming the traffic clicks as it does with normal keyword you'll get less than 10% if you're not top 5 (I can't remember the exact numbers) but unless you were giving away ipads or the other sites have some shitty/mediocre content, I'd still think it's a long shot. Are you doing anything to encourage them to link?
You're talking about traffic and I'm talking about webmasters linking.
Obviously it's going to get a lot less traffic for the average visitor, but we're not talking about average visitors. We're talking about webmasters.
Webmasters don't fall under the same category as visitors. When you go search for a topic do you automatically click the first ranked site in Google? I know I don't... it's usually pretty easy for an experienced user to spot quality sites. Thinking as a webmaster, if I'm writing an article or blogpost and I want to reference a topic, I don't just google the keyword, and take the #1 site. As a webmaster I'd want to link to a quality site, if I see an .edu site with great information, obviously I'm going to link to that.
That being said, I think you were confused a bit by what I initially said. I'm not saying I'm going to get more links than #1. What I was saying that once I'm in the top 10 I will be getting more traffic, and more chances of getting organic links. And being a .edu site (with great content and research), I'll have higher chances of getting links at #10, then a commericial, or even regular site. As I move up the top 10, hopefully I can more and more organic links, as I continue to build links myself.
In short, if I get into top 10, it will have more exposure, increasing chances of organic links being a well put together .edu website.

I don't think I'd be more likely to link to a site just because it's an edu site. I'd link to it if it was harvard, walmart, wikipedia or so but an unknown edu site, I wouldn't link to, assuming I had to make a link. I'd atleast try to create an incentive for them to link something along.
Just written in a more delicate manner. I believe that reminding people to give credit, helps them show appreciation - hence my signature.

We get that you're excited, but showing your impatience by adding this to every reply is bloody annoying.

Seeing your domain gracing the top of page 1 is truly a sight to behold 
No, #27, guess shoulda worded it better.
No clue. To be honest, I've used this service a long time ago with mixed results. Have no idea how far along things are. I'm not certain if he does reports at the end now, but before he didn't and I'd have no clue what was going on. The biggest issue was communication in the past. But to his defense, I have not contacted him to see where it's at either.

When I saw the service I somehow didn't like it. Didn't think it could rank websites. Don't know, was just a hunch. Looks like it was right. It's great for diversity though, but IMHO, that kind of diversity is useless if it's from obscure platforms. Personally, I prefer token links from all kinds of platforms, and get higher quality links from high authority pages, regardless of the platform.
