Do edu links have more power than other links?
Not automatically. Google treats links on their merits. A legitimate edu placement signals trust and relevance, and that's where the value comes from.
Which sites qualify?
Sites with genuinely useful content, a scholarship, or a resource students would use. Pure sales pages rarely qualify.
Are the links dofollow?
It depends on the institution. We report the attribute for every placement.
How is this different from cheap edu packages?
Cheap edu packages use hacked or spam pages. We use pages universities intend to publish.
