Link Building this Week (23.2008)

While the value of a .edu tld still raises discussions, you can’t deny that a link on a .edu domain is usually pretty valuable. How to obtain .edu’s was part of Roger Montti’s link building presentation at the SMX Advanced (also covered by Virginia Nussey) and Dave Snyder also discussed the same topic.

Another interesting post was the one at Copywriting Maven about the optimal email subject line. This summary of Alchemy Worx’ research isn’t directly link building related, but it sure is a good read, because emailing people is part of a link marketer’s life.
And also:

• Tim Nash wrote a great post about different factors influencing the value of a link
• James Chartrand’s how to create remarkable content isn’t 100% link building related, but it’s still very interesting for when you’re building link targeted content
• Sage Lewis discussed the 3 ways to spy on your competitors
• Ann Smarty evaluated four link analysis tools
