cheers Bjarne.

To take this a step further, is there a way to find .gov blogs more specific to a niche?

Thanks

Here is another trick that guarantees you the results will only include blogs, forums or article sites where you actually can leave a comment (for whatever purposes you need )

Google.com:
Code:

site:.gov "Be the first to comment"
tip: Try with different phrases. Just think about common snippets of text, that you've seen for example on a wordpress blog or drupal community website.

  Just found that the US government lists at least some of their blogs here:
  Blogs from the U.S. Government: USA.gov

  Hey man, useful stuff thanks for the share..
  
  By the way I just got curious, how did you learn about the google parameters..
  can you share on that too.. I've been looking for a single list but haven't found one yet..
  
  Though I stumble some from time to time...
  
  All the best,

  And of course google has their own search engine for .gov stuff.
  
  +blog +niche - Google Search
  
  Or you could use the US government's own search engine. Just type "blog" and whatever topic you want.
  USASearch.gov: blog
  
  Thanks

Does your site that you link back to from the .gov and .edu have to be relevant to yours and theirs to get the Google love that you are looking for?

It's always better to have a like from a relevant site. however, a link is still a link. And from a .gov .edu site, you'll mos def get that google love.

i wouldn't go overboard with the linking though (to irrelevant .gov/edu sites). A few to supplement your other links will definitely help though.

i wouldn't concern too much about do/nofollow. there's been many talk on this and most people i've come across pretty much say that even if a site has a nofollow code you'll most likely still get google love

check out michelle mcphearson's post on it

  I think a few Warriors have done some pretty impressive research in the do follow/no follow area. It is my understand that no-follow doesn't really exist any more. YMMV.

I do agree that nofollow is dead line of code. Thankfully that loophole was closed

You can also use a site like Drop My Link - Find sites to create backlinks on which has several of these Google search queries built in. I hate trying to remember what the specific syntax of those queries is.
