Here’s a little trick for anybody looking for .edu or .gov backlinks. There might be easier ways to get links from these highly coveted sites, such as buying links but if youre willing to put a little effort into it and not abuse this trick, you’ll find it a rewarding experience. To start, many .edu and .gov sites have blog and allow comments on the blogs. Please remember to respect the blog owners and DO NOT SPAM them as you will only ruin the internet experience and spammers suck in general. Here’s how to find the blogs using a simple Google search :
A basic Google search using the following search criteria will show you the blogs you will be looking for :
Search for .edu domains with a blog relative to your website’s keywords
site:.edu inurl:blog “your keyword(s)”
Search for .gov domains with a blog relative to your website keywords
site:.gov inurl:blog “your keyword(s)”
Enter your relative keywords where the phrase keyword “your keyword(s)” appears and you will see numerous blogs with those .edu extensions appear. Contrarily, if you substitute .gov for the .edu and you will find the sites with .gov extensions.
PLEASE NOTE: When commenting on a blog post within these blogs DO NOT SPAM irrelevant comments just to get your link on the blog. This purpose of this post is merely to point out an effective method of finding .edu and .gov blogs using a simple Google search.Any and all comments that you leave on the blogs you find should be on topic and should be relevant comments with your url entered only where it allows. Please be aware that .edu and .gov domains usually have quite strict policies regarding comments left on their blogs, so please, as with any blog, DO NOT SPAM for the sake of a backlink or you will find your efforts futile.
