After reading a blog post somewhere I was surprised for the results got for term “buy ****” -- all top ranking sites were .edu
I think Google just seems to trust these .edu sites for anything..... lol

yes can be trusted most of them, but making .edu is not hard as we all know. just see their traffic on alexa and try make google its reviews.

.Edu and .Gov sites are actually brilliant for getting high-quality and AUTHORITATIVE link backs for your blog or websites.

But "buy ****"? How EDUCATIONAL.. I remember only getting those from emails I don't even know how the heck he/she got my email address.

.edu and .gov sites that allow backlinking functionality are being used for "****" and similar spamming keywords nowadays.
Its just a matter of how long their effectiveness is gonna stay in the search ranking algorithms..

Most edu sites can be trusted, but I'd only use edu sites in a similar niche for link building. Any other links that get posted you cant control so don't worry about it.
