SEO Tip: Getting Backlinks From .edu And .gov Domains
I'm sure most of you know, backlinks from .gov and .edu sites have a higher value in the major search engines than .com, .org or other toplevel domains. Finding backlinks from these coveted domains can be difficult if you don't know where to look.
Question: How do I get backlinks from .edu and .gov domains?
Answer: Search for them using Google!
Use following Google searches (without the quotes):
1. "blog site:.gov"
2. "blog site:.edu"
3. "suggest url site:.gov"
4. "add url site:.gov"
5. "add site site:.edu"
6. Get specific; if your site is about real estate, try searching for "real estate blog site:.edu"
Happy Googling.

Please don't go spamming all the .gov and .edu sites with your URL. If you are submitting to government or educational blogs, keep your comments about the subject matter or they probably won't get posted at all (Most comment systems are moderated).
Happy Googling.

Perhaps I'll try it out. Thanx for the tip!
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
How can we make sure that they are dofollow?
@Wedding There are a couple of ways.
1. You can install the SEO for Firefox plugin which will highlight no-follow links in red.
2. You can view the source of the website and look for rel="nofollow" in the link code. If it's not there, then it is a dofollow link.
