Go to Google and search for ringtones, cialis, viagra or any other profitable niche and you will see something similar to the image above. This is called edu spam.
As you might know, *.edu and *.gov domains rank way better in search engines (Specially Google) than any other TLD, and that’s exactly why some search engine spammers are using those domains to promote their landing pages/affiliate sites.
How do they do it? Well if you look closely you might figure it out by yourself… But for those lazy ones here is a quick explanation of this technique:
- Find forums/guestbooks installed on *.gov and *.edu domains. You can find them with Google using a query like this: site:edu OR site:gov “Forum”
- Drop your link there - Most of them will accept live links, and if they are vulnerable to XSS you can do so much more like redirecting to your site automatically with JavaScript
- Make the spiders crawl that site (QUIT?)
- Repeat
Of course the moar the better, so you might want to code a tool to automate the process and get more links.
EDIT: Here you can find an example on EDU spamming (Scroll down to the bottom)
You are a noob because you fail to address how difficult it is to rank or those keywords via edu spam.
For one, the people who spam .edu sites spam THOUSANDS of guestbooks and forums thousands of times over. In addition you are competing with thousands of spammers. Out of all these millions of pieces of spam generated perhaps only a handful of them will rank for the competitive terms and only for a few days before the university IT staff deletes it or another spam message replaces it.
Your blog reads as if it were written by a script kiddie who just programed ‘Hello World’. I have read I few entires, and I suggest you do yourself a favor and delete this blog from your server. There are far better blogs out there that are written by people who actually know Blackhat instead of pseudo experts such as yourself.
Lastly, bluehat SEO indexing tool is GARBAGE. I tried it a couple months ago and it doesn’t work. All it does is propogate your link though a bunch of NO FOLLOW blogs and other shit. You know what DOES work? Good ol’ Backlinks!!! Who would have though.
I have asked this question in WF and the discussion is still goin’ on, but does different TLD gives you a better ranking in SE? for example a .COM vs .INFO?
