		</div>So today I came across <a href="http://www.hybridsem.com/blog/2007/05/24/amazing-technique-to-get-free-edu-backlinks-that-is-100-ethical">this guy here</a> posting about <b>another 100% ethical way to get <i>.edu backlinks </i> </b> &#8230;

<p>And he was even mentioned by Aaron on the <span class="caps">SEOBOOK </span>blog&#8230; </p>

<p>Just a week after the big <a href="http://www.marketingfan.com/a/search-engines/seo/link-building/how-to-get-10-to-15-edu-backlinks-per-hour-review.php">How to spam .edu blogs ethically for free</a> (what great products you can buy for $7 &#8230; ) I find that Hybrid guy having tons of links and cheers for his irritating suggestion to post jobs to university job boards&#8230;  fake jobs 99% of the time I guess (altough he didn&#8217;t suggest that, it&#8217;s an obvious consequence)</p>

<p>So again, his idea might be OK if you <span class="caps">REALLY </span>got a job in the area of that university&#8230; </p>

<p>but <span class="caps">HOW MANY </span>of those mass-linkbuilding (spamming) teams will really take care about <span class="caps">THAT </span>requirement?</p>

<p>I foresee a <span class="caps">HUGE </span>mass of fake jobs getting posted onto some .edu job boards, misleading all sorts of hopeful students &#8230; oh well.</p>



<p>But you know what&#8217;s best?</p>

<p>That whole great and &#8220;ethical trick&#8221; is a big useless waste of time. For the link builders, the clients and of course the frauded students looking for a job.</p>

<p>These job postings are removed after 4 weeks. Just as on craigslist.<br />
so the <span class="caps">ONLY </span>thing you can use this for is to put your spam links in there and then <span class="caps">SPAM </span>this page to hell, just as some other .edu spam works only via a lot more spammy links pointing to it.</p>

<p><span class="caps">BECAUSE, </span>this &#8220;fake job post&#8221; page you create has NO pagerank and NO inbound links &#8211; unless you start you blog comment spam bots to put links to it to &#8220;copy&#8221; that cialis spam meme that &#8220;Joe Whyte&#8221; came across and used as a sample for the &#8220;trust&#8221; of his fake job pages.</p>


<p>And then, worst of all, I found this &#8220;trick&#8221; even featured on WebProNews. </p>

<p>I think &#8211; it&#8217;s <span class="caps">NOT </span>ethical &#8211; and <span class="caps">IT&#8217;</span>s a waste of time. </p>

<p>Pretty retarded &#8211; What do you think?</p>




<p>PS: read those blog comments to find link builders cheer in like &#8220;one of the best methods where we can start building links and I think it is very cost effective also. Smart piece of work.&#8221; &#8230; <span class="caps">LOL.</span></p><div class="tweetthis" style="text-align:left;"><p> <a class="tt" href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=100%25+unethical+and+useless+.edu+link+building+tactic+http%3A%2F%2Fmarketingfan.com%2F%3Fp%3D1248" title="Post to Twitter"><img class="nothumb" src="http://www.marketingfan.com/wp-content/plugins/tweet-this/icons/en/twitter/tt-twitter-big4.png" alt="Post to Twitter" /></a> <a class="tt" href="http://delicious.com/post?url=http://www.marketingfan.com/100-unethical-and-useless-edu-link-building-tactic&amp;title=100%25+unethical+and+useless+.edu+link+building+tactic" title="Post to Delicious"><img class="nothumb" src="http://www.marketingfan.com/wp-content/plugins/tweet-this/icons/en/delicious/tt-delicious-big4.png" alt="Post to Delicious" /></a> <a class="tt" href="http://delicious.com/post?url=http://www.marketingfan.com/100-unethical-and-useless-edu-link-building-tactic&amp;title=100%25+unethical+and+useless+.edu+link+building+tactic" title="Post to Delicious">Post to Delicious</a> <a class="tt" href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://www.marketingfan.com/100-unethical-and-useless-edu-link-building-tactic&amp;title=100%25+unethical+and+useless+.edu+link+building+tactic" title="Post to Reddit"><img class="nothumb" src="http://www.marketingfan.com/wp-content/plugins/tweet-this/icons/en/reddit/tt-reddit-big4.png" alt="Post to Reddit" /></a> <a class="tt" href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://www.marketingfan.com/100-unethical-and-useless-edu-link-building-tactic&amp;title=100%25+unethical+and+useless+.edu+link+building+tactic" title="Post to Reddit">Post to Reddit</a> <a class="tt" href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.marketingfan.com/100-unethical-and-useless-edu-link-building-tactic&amp;title=100%25+unethical+and+useless+.edu+link+building+tactic" title="Post to StumbleUpon"><img class="nothumb" src="http://www.marketingfan.com/wp-content/plugins/tweet-this/icons/en/su/tt-su-big4.png" alt="Post to StumbleUpon" /></a> <a class="tt" href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.marketingfan.com/100-unethical-and-useless-edu-link-building-tactic&amp;title=100%25+unethical+and+useless+.edu+link+building+tactic" title="Post to StumbleUpon">Stumble This Post</a></p></div>]]></content:encoded>
