EDU Text Links are Superior

Search engines value edu text links and gov links moreso than regular .com, .net and .org links because gov and edu domain extensions are only able to be registered to colleges, universities and governmental agencies. Because these domain extensions are only given to "accredited" institutions, they are more "trusted" by the search engines. More "trust" is also assigned to the edu domains because most of these domains are older and well-established (a major plus in most search engine algorithms - especially Google). Why is this important to YOU? Because a degree of this "high-level trust" is then passed on to the sites that the university links to, thereby increasing your rankings in the search engine results. More traffic to your site means more revenue to you.

A NOTE OF IMPORTANCE

Just as all links are not the same in value, nor are all EDU links created the same. The most peddled edu link out there - that is viewed by many SEO experts as the least powerful - are links on a student's personal web page. These links are also the most easiest to obtain. Many times you can tell these pages by a "~" in the URL, followed by a student ID. A lot of search engines don't even index these pages because they have code in the algorithm that looks for the "~" and then ignores all pages that are after the symbol. Even if a search engine does cache (or index) a page like this on a certain domain, there is no guarantee that other similar pages in the domain will be indexed.

Further, even if a student's page IS indexed, the impact of such pages is much less than if you have a link closer to the Top Level Domain (such as http://SUBDOMAIN.college.edu or http://www.college.ede/DIRECTORY). Most student pages are located much further down the "domain tree" (such as a URL like this: http://www.college.edu/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/~STUDENTID.html).
