It has been said but I not so sure. Supposedly a hand full of .edu or .gov links is worth thousands of .com links but I have gotten this "hand full" and I didn't notice any difference not to mention they are hard to come by.
i think they are more juicy then .com because they are more TRUSTED and being considered as important. so if u have link from EDU and GOV domain it's means your site must be important.
No doubt google and others search engines give much more importance to .edu and .gov backlinks and also !
This is a big myth. .EDUs and .GOVs were really useful earlier because those were the most linked sites earlier and a link from them naturally gave better impact to your SERPs. Nowadays .edus links that 'anyone' can build (profiles / comments / forums) are at the same levels as .com.
Edu backlinks has a great trust from search engine rather than regular .com .net /others Because these domain extensions are only given to “accredited†institutions, they are more “trusted†by the search engines. More “trust†is also assigned to the edu domains because most of these domains are older and well-established (a major plus in most search engine algorithms – especially Google)...
yes,S.E like .edu and .gov sites because there are non commerical and aged domains .i have ranked first page in google for my keyword after using .edu and .gov backlink service
EdU and GOV TLD -s always have larger authority status. Authority can boost your SERP results... at least it gives authority for your site. Cheers,
Edu and Gov links do help in your ranking.....however not all Edu and Gov links are created equal. If you think about it, which would you prefer.... a random no-follow comment link from a student blog at Ohio State University or a site-wide blog roll link or a do-follow in content link from MIT? So yes Edu/Gov backlinks are good....but some links are just GREAT!
.edu and .gov sure are more trusted than normal .com sites. At least because not everyone can register a .edu or .gov domain, right ?
Yes, it has much importance in term of quality back links, Google gives importance to those domains which are for society, to help the society. As .edu is for educational web sites so it is helpful for the world for the society similarly .gov also.
