.Edu Back Links and .Gov Back Links-A Quick Tip

.Edu back links and .Gov back links have long been sought after for their high quality and “link juice” potential. High quality, high PR back links are the name of the game when trying to get both PR and high rankings in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Page) in Google™.

I will show a one very easy trick on how to find and go after these high PR back links, but 1st a quick idea of what they are…

What Are .Edu & .Gov Back Links

Very basically put, most Universities, Colleges, Government Agencies, etc have a website of some sort and their end tag will be .Edu or .Gov.  They are a sponsored Top Level Domain (TLD) to be used by U.S. Institutions of higher learning & government.  Having said that, most have a forum or blog on them as well where comments can be left.

Google™ holds these sites in high esteem usually giving them high PR making . edu back links and .gov back links a prime target for a one-way link back to your post/page.  They can be a bit tricky to find and hard to get a link from even when you do find them, but it’s usually worth the effort.

How Do I Find .Edu & .Gov Back Links

You find .edu back links & .gov back links in exactly the same way…  Now before I go into this you want to download SEO Quake, it’s free SEO Tool and a must for every Internet Marketer…

Remember PR is important, we are going after high ranking .edu back links and .gov back links and SEO Quake will show the PR of each site.  I go into natural linking patterns in other posts, that is important, but we’re going for the gold today!!

In your browser after you have downloaded SEO Quake, type the following:

site:.edu “post a comment” -”you must be logged in” -”comments closed” “keyword”

The only thing you have to do is replace “keyword” with the actual keyword you are trying to rank for, for example:

In this post I am talking about .edu back links and ,gov back links, if I were searching for this keyword terms the string would look like this:

site:.edu “post a comment” -”you must be logged in” -”comments closed” “edu back links”

site:.gov “post a comment” -”you must be logged in” -”comments closed” “gov back links”

Notice how I switched out the keyword phrase I am searching for, it is that easy!  Now, you will have to work at this, like everything else in SEO there is no “push button software” that does all of this for you, but this will get you well on your way!

There are paid services for getting both .edu back links and .gov back links, but I have never personally used them, so I can’t give any recommendation.
