It's pretty easy to do google searches and find things like forums or blogs that allow comments.

This post doesn't exactly answer your question, but it seems that it may contain some information of which you're unaware. I appreciate that your employer might be under a misapprehension or two, on this subject, but maybe you could "learn up the subject" and tactfully explain that to him rather than misapplying time/energy/resources/whatever?

"latest comments" site:.edu

Does space between : and . plays any role? I didnt try yet but will it also work with gov search as well.

One more thing, does these backlinks really make difference.

But one thing is still question able, when you check stats on woorank why it calculates and tell about gov and edu back links and says that these are high impact. confusing

I think .gov and .edu links used to have a lot of power and link juice, but not so much anymore.
Spammers realized they were powerful and spammed...google realized this and changed their algorithm to decrease the value of these backlinks.

means I can do nothing in start about finalizing any thing about SEO, every thing is important and nothing is important. At the moment I've only learned this line :S

lol exactly.
Meaning...make backlinks...but you don't necessarily have to go out of your way to look for gov or edu links.

Well, here is a list of edu links that I used.

These were uploaded by somebody else in another thread on this forum.
I can't remember who because it was a few months ago...

But I have used these and they did help me.

That is so nice of you, and this is really a great help. Actually I've ranked up few sites without any single edu or gov backlinks, But today when a guy asked me to give him edu links, I had no answer to him, don't even know if these helps or not or only rumors. I'll do try these links but I guess 10 links can make any difference or not. Still I'm confused

I agree you at the moment, and yes relevancy is most important now, but if my employer asks me that he needs these backlinks for must then I'm nil in that and he will kick me out with a bad feedback.
