Not All .Edu Links Are Created Equal

- Universities purge these pages every semester during cleanup
Average cost: $200-400 per link

March 2024 Link Spam Update Impact
Sites relying on scholarship link schemes saw 40-60% traffic drops overnight. 73% of affected sites haven't recovered. Our clients using editorial placements? Zero impact—rankings actually improved.
What SEO Professionals Say
Don't take our word for it. Here's what agencies and in-house teams are saying after switching to editorial placements.
“We spent $40K on scholarship links last year. After the March update, 80% were deindexed. EduGraph's 12 placements? All still live, still passing authority. The ROI isn't even comparable.”
“Our legal clients need bulletproof link profiles. EduGraph delivered 8 faculty citations from law school blogs that our competitors simply cannot replicate. Worth every penny.”
“I was skeptical—$850 per link seemed steep. Then I saw the placement: a genuine mention in a Stanford professor's resource page. That single link outperformed 50 guest posts.”
