In SEO world, getting links from authority sites thought to be the most important task on the SEO campaign itself. An authority site means the site itself has a high Google Page Rank (4 or above), a domain is from .edu or .gov. I did think it was a purely a myth, why a link from .edu or .gov consider an authority link? What about a link from my local government website or some respectful education institute? Did it consider as an authority link as well?
Today I am still not sure it is a myth or not but from my recent experience, I found a link or from the domain .edu may help. The reason is this blog was found no where top 100 in Google search for the keywords “make money online” but suddenly it jumps to the third page for that keywords. But one little experience doesn’t prove if the power comes from the .edu links or the recent Google search algorithm changes. Therefore, I am testing it with anther domain I own with several .edu links as well.
If that site experience a search ranking boost, then the conclusion for this test is .edu links are more likely to boost one site search engine ranking. Later probably 2 weeks or so I will post my findings here.
