      Obviously I'm not saying don't build links. I'm saying don't waste time on links of no value. What makes a link have value will always be a topic of debate, a debate i do not have time for.

        Sure, article is spun, because writing 40 unique articles for page would be expensive. For example, if 600 word unique and high quality article costs $5, that will be $40x5= $200. Our prices are in range of $20-$60, so that everyone can afford it. In case we will post unique article on each page, our service will stop being cheap and only small percent of users could afford it. From the launch time, our purpose was and is to give cheap and good service which will help anyone to increase their ranking.

        The tactic we use for link building of our clients sites is same for our own sites. And I can tell you, that for 6 years, we managed to get many sites ranked on first page for a long time.

          It could be so that edu links have no more value than .com's, but only Google knows that. We can only assume whether it holds more value or not. And I think that it does. Because educational institution linking to your site will be great signal to Google. Matt Cutts said many times, that gaining link from BBC or CNN will be better than gaining it for example from your friend Thom's local grocery store's site. Because CNN has bigger authority than your friend's local store.

          So, if CNN and BBC sites hold bigger value than other sites, why .edu sites won't hold bigger value than other sites? Only educational institutions can buy .edu domain, so that means they hold big value. For example, if Harvard University will link to your site, don't you think it will hold higher value than one article directory from AMR or one blog from private blog network? I think that it will. It's only assumption though, but considering test results and positive ranking improvements we saw and continue seeing in our serp reports.

            I just don't understand why people want to purchase backlinks. Personally I believe time and effort should be put into making great content which people actually want to link to.

              The large-scale correlation data we've run shows no inherent advantage of the .edu TLD in recent years. I suspect this is in part because those links have been heavily gamed. A reputable institution does carry solid domain authority and trust, no doubt, but I don't think that the extension itself is a strong ranking signal. Would I rather have a link from Harvard than Bob's Bait Shop? Sure, but it depends a lot on where that link is, how deep the page is, if it's indexed, what the context is, etc.

                Because sometimes people don't link to the content and sometimes it's easier, faster and profitable to buy backlinks.

                  Sure it depends on factors like indexation, content and link placement. We consider that too. And links we are building are indexed within 2 days, some of them are indexed even faster. Links which are never indexed can't hold even small value, I'm not even considering them when talking about backlinks. Not indexed backlink = no backlink.

                    Easier and Faster , yes but more profitable, no. If people don't link to your content then your content isn't that good. People will link and share good content. Long term better content is a more profitable strategy.

                      Very often people do have killer content, but they still don't get traffic/backlinks... Link buying is not a bad idea in itself if done properly. However, having 40 edu backlinks done over a short period of time with no educational relevancy with your site will do more harm than good in the end.
