.edu and .gov Backlinks

If you want legitimate links from government websites and educational institutions, the ONLY way to get them is to contact them directly.

9,999 times out of 10,000, they are not going to be interested in linking to your site.

What kind of sites you are trying to rank? And why did you need edu and gov sites to link?

oh.....i have heard that, .gov and .edu sites are most important for ranking on google. Is it true?

You are saying that you are a SEO worker or of such sort. But my question is that, did you know anything about SEO? From what I am seeing through your replies in this forum that you have the least knowledge.

Most of the time students visit these sites and they are govrment site thatswhy they are so popular. that backlinks help to rank high in SERP

Just give up on that.Even you pay them money,no one would b interested in your commerce site.

You should give up on those particular sites and try to spend more and more time on Guest Blogging & Content Writing. Trust me they are more worthful in making quality backlinks.

You can search the service at Warrior Special Offer section of this forum, you will get legitimate offers of Edu and Gov backlinks.

Hi,

If you want edu and gov links:

- spend the next 3-5 years of your life learning your niche inside out
- spend the next 3-5 years of your life practicing your skills, to become so good, that you become an authority in your niche
- spend the next 3-5 years of your life not trying to get, but giving

Then, Young Grasshopper, you have a chance at these backlinks.

It is tough to get these links because you earn these links, and you earn these links over years, and most marketers have the patience of a guppy with ADD, sans Ritalin.

Move the focus from today, or tomorrow, to years from now, and you may have a chance. There is a good reason why it's hard to get these links; you gotta work for them!

Create a scholarship for your business, setting up the specific page on your website and then reaching out to Universities, etc. Most of them have a page on their website, where they promote external scholarships for their students. It's the easiest way I know of getting .edu links.

Government links are a bit harder. But generally there are government/community programs that you might be able to get involved with. This can earn you .gov links.

I will not waste my time begging from .edu and .gov sites for the backlinks because it is not possible they are more on offering service to their municipalities rather than with your website.

If you insist on getting .edu backlinks, there are students and instructors who will sometimes post a guest post for you on their blog. Does it make much, if any, difference to your search engine rank? Probably not.

Everybody tell about .gov backlinks. Please somebody tell about .edu backlinks.

If you want worthwhile .gov links, you are going to have to call up government institutions and ask for them. I'm going to bet though that you do not have a website that any government institution would have the need or desire to link to.

You are wasting your time. Just like .edu links, .gov links do not hold any special power. They are judged the same as a link on a .com site or any other site.

edu and gov links? Are we back in 2007?

Backlinks from relevant sites will add more value. If you do SEO you must know that how to search any kind of sites with the search term (keyword) + inurl: .gov/.edu

Related, authority sites are good substitutes to .gov, .edu links. It is not always about quantity of backlinks from these "special sites" (way too old of a strategy, i may add) but more of how quality your backlinks are in terms of your chosen niche. So might as well spend your time creating good content strategy and try to contact similar/related authority sites to feature your content on their page.

I think If you do SEO you must know that how to search any kind of sites with the search keyword + inurl: .gov/.edu

I just don't understand why people don't go the easy route!

You want a .edu backlink? Start a school and give yourself a bakclink.

You want a .gov backlink? Get yourself elected and give yourself a backlink.

T's so simple! Why don't people get it?

If you think its that easy - then you are wrong. But its not that too hard as well, Depends on scenario.

I will share you an example.

1 of my client wanted edu/gov links to his site in 2017 his product was web development/app development - Now if we think from brain why will edu/gov sites will give backlinks to them? but people do get it from them if either they are into educational domain or related to them somehow and are working on something really a big scale and beneficial concept something like - Microsoft, Cloud Technology, etc. Then they can get legal backlinks.

But he still wanted them, in that case - you can find edu/gov sites (Make sure to check there DA/TF and Ahref data for spam score and how good they are) and make article or comment backlinks. That's how it works for nearly 9999 out of 10000 sites and user cases.

2nd scenario - I had another client with educational niche he usually get them easily.

So it depends how you break the scenario in your case. Good luck
