Gremlin, thanks for that post. Directory submission is the cornerstone of link building. Your list is a good resource. Thanks, Cheers!

On the .edu link injection. I'm no expert but there are 3 ways they getting them.

1.) The first is the easiest, they just register as a poster on a .edu board and put you link in the signature area, like this guy.

The Carroll Boards - View Profile: Vikard

2.) The second way is a site search injection using a hex or unicode translation.

-you find those by this in the url "/?result=xxxxxx"

What you is write out the html for what you want the page to say,
-- simple example,

<a href="http://www.mysite.com>check out my site</a>

then go here to translate it

translation = unicode

--<a href="http://www.mysite.com>check out my site</a>--
note, the unicode autmatically converts on this board,

hex
%3C%61%20%68%72%65%66%3D%22%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%7 7%77%77%2E%6D%79%73%69%74%65%2E%63%6F%6D%3E%63%68% 65%63%6B%20%6F%75%74%20%6D%79%20%73%69%74%65%3C%2F %61%3E

then find a high PR site with a search function and just put your translation in the search box, Some of the search results page will come back with a valid do follow link. Then just bookmark the url of the search page and throw some links at it. Bingo, you now have page that will rank for your term.

3.) The 3rd way is through database hacks that are beyond me.
