Hello,

I am working on link reclamation for GetEducated.com and you have listed an old URL that no longer works on our site. The link is associated with the Diploma Mill Police Affiliate Badge located on your right side bar (on all pages).

The old URL is:

The new URL is:

Thank you for your time,
