Hey, does anyone know if there is any sort of link building strategy for
Linux. I pulled some info on the proprietary competitors (see links below).
It just seems like Linux should have an advantage here because of the
community. Microsoft and Apple probably pay big money for their links. If
everyone would hop on board and leave a backlink or two for Linux on quality
sites it would make a difference. Especially if the links are on .edu sites
for example.

I tried to put the info below in a table with 4 columns, I hope it makes
sense.

Lower numbers mean higher rank. For example Google is ranked number 1 which
is the highest possible.
