I love creative thinkers and obviously you are one! Your idea is great.

My only two caveats would be that many (if not most) blogs don’t let you automatically post to them unless you are registered and/or have reached some preset level of approved comments. In your case, you have reached that level on my blog so your comments are now actually showing right after you post rather than the first few I had to review before they showed. So that’s one concern. I’ve noticed that EDU sites often require you to be a regisered student. But not all.

So the other caveat would be to try to post to a page in the regular index, not supplemental index if you want significant value with Google. In my research, it seemed that, at best, only the first or second return was in the regular index and all other pages were in the supplemental index.

I remember at your presentation when you were searching for a golf domain to buy you mentioned that links from .edu sites are valuable.

I read an article about all the interesting stuff you could do with google search using their special operators (inurl, allintitle, etc) and thought about this scenario.

What if I searched for this:

inurl:.edu blog **my_niche_subject**

and posted to the blogs.

My question is: Do you think this would work from an SEO viewpoint? I noticed that many of the .edu blogs have high PR. Would google notice they are from blogs and discount them?

I actually did this for one of my niche sites and the .edu link showed up in your tool a couple days later. But, I’m still unsure of the real SEO benefits, if any.
