Anyone else have any other ideas?
From what I have seen "domain authority" is the basis of SEO. I constantly see V7N in the top 5 listings, for topics that are very competitive, that do not have anything to do with this site (seo related, blog related, or directory related). Google is picking up on keywords and ranking them in the top 5 on that only.
I believe this shows how important domain authority really is.

No .edu, .gov don't matter, but typically .edu, and .gov links a big majority of the times has more authority to it, and are typically better links to get due to the inbound links going to them, and typically the domain has been setting for awhile.
