Free .edu.xx domains

I believe this would be the forum to place this one.

I have been seeing sellers pushing ebooks and reports on how to get free .edu.xx domains.
Just got off another forum where someone wants $20 for this!

Remember, it is NOT .edu domains, but .edu.xx domains, where the .xx is a country extension.

Well, I have known this for some time, and am sure most domainers know the same thing.
Where to get these .edu.xx domains for free.

So I tell everyone, don't waste your money on this, but go straight to the source:
edu.ms - free edu domain

This is for those who want a domain like "iowadawg.edu.ms"

Yes, this is true. You can create a free xxxxxxx.edu.ms site. Does anyone know if such a site is considered a "real" edu site by Google? That is, do you think Google gives such sites any weight as far as such sites supplying backlinks to other sites?

I doubt that google would ever find one of these free sites a real .edu simply because:
1. free site
2. not an .edu extension

As far as backlinks, probably depends on the site created and how it is seo'd, etc.
