How to fuck up EDU / GOV links

Category : Uncategorized

Today I bumped into a huge list of .edu / .gov blogs with auto approval of comments. Quite an asset for anyone into link building. The guy who posted the list had them all checked mid of September and there were roughly 50 high PR and dofollow pages.

Less than two months after, only 2-3 are left dofollow. Most of the sites in that list had commenting turned off site-wide or moderation enabled. Why? I could only take a wild guess, judging by the amount of spammy Loved-your-blog-just-bookmarked-it comments left by users called Mesothelioma Asbestos Attorneys or Best Florida Flower Gift Shop.

How retarded can you be to comment like that? GOV / EDU blogs aren’t abandoned @wordpress.com pieces of crap where you can pull these stunts. A PR5 blog post with less than 10 OBL’s on a dot EDU is not something you run across every day, to say the least. Such people really don’t belong in the industry.
