How Do I Get .edu and .gov Backlinks Easily?

BY Carl Ocab

By

Most search engines value .gov and .edu backlinks. These links are so called “authority links” to search engines. That’s the reason why most SEO’s hunt for these kind of backlinks.

Even thought it’s quite hard to get these backlinks. Here are some tips for you to start with:

First, go to Google and try to do the following search:

For .edu domains

“Your desired keyword” “powered by wordpress” site:.edu

This search will help you find blogs that uses WordPress with a .edu domain.

“Your desired keyword “ “powered by vBulletin” site:.edu

This search will help you find forums that use vBulletin. Alternatively, you can replace the word “vBulletin” with your desired forum management program (Like Xoops, Phpbb, etc.)

For .gov domains

“Your desired keyword” “powered by wordpress” site:.gov

This search will help you find blogs that uses WordPress with a .edu domain.

“Your desired keyword “ “powered by vBulletin” site:.gov

This search will help you find forums that use vBulletin. Alternatively, you can replace the word “vBulletin” with your desired forum management program (Like Xoops, Phpbb, etc.)

That’s about it. Just play with the search terms. Hehehehe, use your creativity to find some “authority” links. You’re missing something good if you wouldn’t try this and you’ll realize that it’s all worth it.

Honestly, just about a minute ago, I found a .edu forum that allows anyone to register. Of course, I quickly registered and contributed some things. It’s just a matter of luck and some good Googling ;)

    Thank you Carl, I have never thought of this before. I thought .edu domains were only used by schools. Trying my luck now on looking for some of these sites. Wish me luck! :)

    Never underestimate the power of the internet. An increasing number of people use the internet
    to search for a business or service so having a web presence is an important media for promoting
    your company. Web design is a real skill and if your website is to not only look good but work well,
    it should be constructed by a professional web designer.

    I haven’t tried to build backlinks much through this method. Found the same tip in another site, and here’s what happened. Whenever I comment on a .edu WP blog that has nothing to do with “make money online” or SEO, it gets accepted. I wonder why I cannot make a comment on .edu blogs when the topic is about SEO and Internet Marketing and why my post would be labeled “questionable?” Did this in two separate .edu blogs about SEO, and I was aghast why.

    Well, good tips there.

  20. syliand says

    That’s a pretty cool tips but i used to put an “inurl:gov” or an “inurl:edu”

    I think it’s working better and have more relevant results

    Thanks for posting this. I couldn’t remember exactly how to search for only a certain TLD on Google.

  24. Noomi Rapace says

    thanks for the information…I have also heard that .gov sites give more credibility to your links

  26. francis says

    Wow, this is a new one for me. I’m going to go try this right away. Thanks for sharing

  27. Bryan Wong YH says

    This is a great tip. At first I was skeptical but it still works. Will continue using this for a while

  28. Recruiter says

    Very clever idea here. Any suggestions for weeding out search results on results pages with nofollows? Most of the sites using WP have this by default. I tried adding -nofollow to the search query but that didn’t seem to work.

  29. adam from getting backlinks says

    I have actually tried this method. It is a bit hit and miss, but you can get some good quality links out of it. I have a site at number one with a .edu backlink.

  30. Jesse Flinchbaugh says

    I hope all of this happens. I mean, it’s for the sake of research and education, which is priceless.

  32. MNayyar says

    Excellent you have solved my problems it would have taken months to reach to this conclusion to get backlinks from edu and gov websites. thanks a lot

  37. Archery Pro Shop says

    Its pretty tough and time consuming however well worth the hassle if you can actually get a few .gov or .edu links out of searching. After a a half of a day I did successfully get an .edu link which I’m proud of. Thanks for the post

    Once you see these strategies in action you will be tempted to go overboard and get 1000’s of .edu back links to your site. It needs to be done in moderation, so some self control will be required and some patience.

    It’s rattling nice article. Thanks for conversation about it as I am curious in this subject.

    Of course you could always buy some software that will do it for you but then you still have to make the comments, signatures or whatever manually.

    I have found that purchasing the right software that automates little parts of the system is well worth the money spent.

  57. Ritesh Sapra says

    Okay, honestly I must admit this was very useful.

    Ive been asking so many of my friends on how to get backlinks from .gov and .edu. Couldnt find anything online too, but this small little trick of yours has done wonders.

    I’ve been looking to get on the first page for a very very competitive word – Roughly about 3 billion is the competition and ofcourse am no where close at the moment – but thats the Target :-)

  64. Vikas Gaur says

    {|||What do you think about, how I can improve this site. I want to make this site fully devoted to diaspora indian all over world.

  65. Gaptek Update says

    Im sorry for asking this question guys but I keep reading that I must create backlinks to get visitors to my site – I just dont understand what a backlink is

    Hi everyone!

    I have to add in contract a remark that websites of my clients surely will contain “Powered by Me” backlink. So how I should write this part of agreement in legal way?
