Furthermore I think it might be a signal to show Google we're not a spammy made-for-adsense site since those kind of sites normally don't outlink to others :) Well, I tend to outlink to authoritive sites anyway since I think it provides additional value for my visitors.

There is still relevance with the subject matter (linking to W3) but as the discussion shows, the legitimacy of the strategy was quickly questioned. We do know that linking to relevant, authoritative domains like Wikipedia is valuable within balance of course. But ultimately how much value is always an ongoing question. Hi Breals,

(I also looked at several pages on the W3 site and they have a PR 0... Perhaps these two observations are related?) @Vince: the site you refer to currently has a PR of just 4, so whatever PageRank benefits it derived from the W3 links now seem to have disappeared.

The only reason I was concerned is because w3 is an authority site and a great link, if your some sort of html or tech based site, if your a wine site for example, it won't do you much good, only pass's some PR. .edu job board, google can identify that this is where the link is coming from, and like I said I believe that google has now made .edu links carry fairly equal weight from deep inner pages, because of spam problems. The .edu pages themselves only rank high because they have high authority, but I don't believe it neccasarily means they will pass on any authority on. Just an opinion, everything pretty much is unless you have experiment to back your words, and its very time consuming in our business of course to do one =) Oh that trust rank, sure, I think its only used for spam, and supp index, to determine whether you are in or your not.

IF you have a new site in the search engines and want to be considered an authority then you need to get links from trusted/authoritative sites. The job board trick is just that.. a trick. The link value you get from it can be debated however to say that getting a link from an edu does nothing or is 100% filtered is going to far in my opinion. recently I have been using .edu links in combination with high powered links from authority sites to do negative serp removal. It has turned out to be very useful for my service offerings. I believe in a link receipe and not just doing one kind of linking obviously. Its a good point you bring up and for anyone reading this I want to advise to make sure your inbound linking structure is as natural as possible. Thats why we focus on untraditional link building like leveraging digg and stumble upon.

Link building tactics depend on the age of your site, and its own authority. It might pass on link juice, but its one of many factors contributing to serps, which is what we are after! Also .edu links have long been filtered because of left behind guestbooks and so forth, and no longer pass on more power then regular links, if they ever have. I don't know about dorward; I see a PR 4, which may mean nothing. High PR doesn't mean high SERPS. Trust Rank, I believe, is same as Page Rank, but used by Yahoo.
