Since .edu, .gov, and .mil links all have high restrictive nature, their "link juice" will be significantly higher than .com, .net, and .org ones. I like this idea, and I am going to start searching for this type of links and try it out. I will try to bring back my test result to you guys. Thanks for sharing!

Several things I truly agree with you: "content" is the King, "link begging" is the queen, and a good ranking will be the new prince/princess, lol Thank you for this great post, My main specialty is SEO, and I think I am at the step 8, and gradually going to step 9 now.

As far as how much weight comes from a .edu domain: It was always considered that top level domains, such as .edu, .gov, and .mil carry more authority because of the restrictive nature of their registration. According to Matt Cutts, the head of the anti-spam team at Google, what TLD a link is coming from does not change how much "link juice" it carries over. That being said, domains on those TLDs are usually pretty well know and authoritative, so links from them are bound to be important. On a side note, I had a project where I was doing SEO on a website located on a .edu website and the website has been outranked by several .com domains... Jessy,

I should probably be calling my CS department for backlinks now. :) As always, I keep coming back for fresh ideas when I needed a better vision. Are you planning to update your blog anytime soon? cuz I think what you write about is fantastic. Konrad,

Maybe Google didn't index it yet? If it has been banned indeed, I would suggest writing a reconsideration request stating that the domain has been banned due to previous owner's activities and that you now control the website and you will abide by their TOS and not use any spammy techniques. As long as you're honest with them, you should be OK. Are you sure that the domain is banned Krisitna? Maybe Google didn’t index it yet?
