    Yeah – I once paid good money for this wheeze – it’s great in theory but I found that the sites accepting my posts were already spam bins (with consequently little or no link value). Maybe I should have refined the search and written better posts.

    I’m told that Google does give extra weight to .edu TLDs but links from spam bins won’t do you any good.

    Also be sure to check for NO FOLLOW, there’s no SEO value in posting to a NO-FOLLOW site.

    BTW I’ve got a PHP script to search by keyword for blogs without NO-FOLLOW. It needs a server to execute via your browser but installation is just a copy and paste via FTP.

    I’ll trade for blog posts linking to my sites. How many literate, relevant posts is such a script worth to you?
