How to get EDU backlinks

Search for sites or blogs with similiar content to your site in Google

Using the Google operator site:.edu and site:.gov and the keywords of your blog should enable you to find an extensive list of sites related to your keyword. Those operators would filter and show you only sites from .EDU or .GOV domains related to your keyword.
Type in google:

site:.edu "keyword"
site:.gov "keyword"

Contact the webmaster and tell them about your blog, link to them first and then ask for permission to get linked on theirs. Maybe you get lucky…
Searching for .EDU Blogs and .EDU Forums

You can use the Google operators again.
With the following operators typed in Google you limit the Google search to blogs or forums with the .edu extension related to your keyword.

site:.edu inurl:blog "keyword"
site:.edu inurl:forum "keyword"
site:.gov inurl:blog "keyword"
site:.gov inurl:forum "keyword"

Participate in the discussions, don’t SPAM. Leave your link at your desire.

You can further enhance your "search". Here an advanced .EDU scanning technique which you want to use if you want to exclude all blogs which are closed or where comments are not allowed:
Use those google operators:

site:.edu inurl:blog “comment” -”you must be logged in” -”posting closed” -”comment closed” “keyword”

This operator would exclude all "closed blogs" and only scan for blogs where you can leave a comment.
Happy hunting and lots of .EDU backlinks !
