List of dofollow .gov forums?

I'm looking for a list of .gov forums with a good degree of authority with the serps. PR 2 and above, could anyone provide me with a few .gov forums that allow you to register and post and that do have dofollow.

Thanks

 

Check it here: Gov. Forums

 

yes but are they do follow. I notice you've just done gov forums in the google search

 

I can try check one by one but how do know it dofollow or nofollow? Is it same like checking the properties of link comment blog?

 

yes it is the same, if there is rel="nofollow" then it is nofollow

 

Just a quick note, incase your don't already know; *.gov & *.edu domains do not recieve any special value over other TLDs. All domain extensions are treated equally, only cc-TLDs (country coded) domain extensions tend to rank better in their respected geo-graphical area.

 

Can you show me some evidence of this?

Because as far as I know Google do not make their algorithms available to the public.

 

Read Matt Cutt's blog, I don't feel like trolling through all his posts to disprove another popular SEO myth. If what you were saying "was" true students with *.edu web accounts would rule the top search results.

Yes, but at the same time many .gov domains have strong incoming links and a link from such domains would be valuable.

 

True, but that has zero relevance on the fact of it's domain extension. The discussion is regarding if a domain extension has more value than another, which it doesn't. Also, just because web pages will have strong incoming links doesn't mean their forum threads will contain the same value; which will probably be full of spammers and mass outbound signature links due to the myth that is believed.

 

I don.t think .gov forums link will help you much unless your site is for public interest or any specific govt projects. This may help if you're looking for specific industry do follow up blog and forum list; http://tucsonseosolutions.com/dofollowlistoflists

 

I strongly agree with ssandecki. It is all about quality of site, its content, its popularity, its links and not about tld.

 

It ain't link juice he's after but trustrank

 

I both agree and disagree with this.
Yes the TLD has nothing to do with it

But statistically if you get a link from a .edu it will have more pr and TR,
hence the popular conception it is better

 

Statistically? More than 60% of all possible EDU links are either from student blogs, websites or work portals. Hence, they tend to have zero relevancy to majority of websites and we all know relevancy is a key factor in link building.
