Build .edu Links from Scholarships
Most universities have a page that links to scholarships, like this:
And when you create one — and let the university know about it — you can land yourself a nice, quality backlink.
One caveat: this SEO technique is getting overused. So I don’t recommend creating a scholarship solely for link building. But if you already offer one, make sure to leverage that scholarship for some super-duper .edu backlinks.
