I personally dont think that Edu or Gov domains are treated any different from others by SEs. Its just they tend to be higher quality, both in terms of content and SEO. But if you are one of those Gov and Edu backlink crazy people... .Gov Some more of .Gov .Edu Some more etc etc Just join the forum and post a few posts with your link in a sig etc Fancy a link on PR5 NASA.Gov forum? Here you go: Click Obviously it does not even have to be a forum. Let me know if you guys suddenly jump in SERPs after getting these backlinks.
1) Keep on reading my post you have quoted 2) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1756437348670651505 watch this Matt Cutts video (minute 4 onwards)
with what Matt Cutts said, it won't be simply your opinion any longer will it But to see any change at G SERPs via an experiment is rather interesting even knowing what Matt Cutts has said. Have you tried or you want others to try it first?
I have only found that video a few minutes before posting the last post. I knew it existed but i did not know what Matt says in that video.
