Getting .gov and .edu Links
Thinking of more ways to get links from sites that can actually pass substantial link juice? In case you’ve overlooked them you should look into sites with .gov and .edu extensions. Note that while a good number of .gov and .edu sites rank really well the extension does not guarantee good link juice, hence, it is still a good idea to choose among the .edu and.gov sites you want to target for getting backlinks. In general though these sites rank pretty well because they get high quality links and are of institutes that are reputable.
So how do you get .gov and .edu sites to link to your site?
Comment on their blogs – Of course some blogs make use of the “no follow” attribute which will render any links useless. So choose which blogs to participate in and comment on those that not only doesn’t use “no follow” but also allows automatically posts a link to your site. You don’t have to link drop this way and get censored for this irritatingly obvious tactic.
Write a good review on a government or university program – After you write one and post it in your blog make sure to let the department/institute involved know about your positive feedback. Most institutions like getting good press so hopefully (you can also hint on it) they will link to your blog post on their news pages.
Donate – If you see that they list donors and the contacts of the donors then do donate to the institution or charity that the institution supports. An added benefit will be the tax deduction you may get.
