.edu and .gov linkjuice

From : http://www.huomah.com/News/Latest/Google-QA-from-Webmaster-Chat-.html

Q. "Are .gov and .edu back links still considered more "link juice" than the common back link?"

Matt Cutts; This is a common misconception--you don't get any PageRank boost from having an .edu link or .gov link automatically. Hah John, I beat you to it!

 

That's normal. Not every .edu or .gov domain is "high pageranked".

 

but it is very tough to get links from .gov and .edu websites..

 

dmi, Although no or less page rank the backlinks from .edu/.gov websites are considered links from trusted/authoritative, that add some value to a page.

 

I hope I get some value from them otherwise all my work was for nothing.

 

I wonder how to get backlinks from .edu or .gov

 

I personally don't consider them to carry extra weight if the text available on the edu page is not related to mine...

 

only if the page rank of the .edu or gov sites are high you get good benefits.

 

edu and gov site link back will give you good rank and good back link for pr generation

 

I am in the process of rethinking this. I was under the same misconception. I caught that post on site point last night. The other included info is quite good as well.

I have access to tulane.edu and saintleo.edu

I am going to see how it works... If it works how I think it will work I'll hook up a blog so ya'll can post...

 

.edu links DO matter. Absolutely. I have a site with 35 edu backlinks. Makes all the difference.

 

When Matts Cutts speaks, people should listen. He wrote a good bit of the algo used by Google, its what he does.

just leave review in this thread
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1080274

 

Tulane.edu has more than 50,000 backlinks with a 21 year old domain
Saintleo.edu has more than 9,000 backlinks with a 12 year old domain
Both domains are Dmoz listed with a pagerank 7

Suppose the websites were .com's; you will notice a decent SERP boost anyway so I doubt you will be able to tell anything from such an experiment.

Its not the fact that they are from a .edu site that makes a difference. It's just that 99% of the time, .edu or .gov are aged and tons of backlinks from authority websites.

 

You can dig up said links by using the following Google handler trickery.

site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -“you must be logged in” “search term here”

works for .gov as well.

hope that helps,
Nigel
