is there any benefit to get nofollow backlinks from .gov site?? Usually .gov & .edu sites are nofollow
Google trust on .gov and .edu sites because these are trustworthy sites. When backlink is not the issue then these types of sites can give you good traffic. So, always go for these sites.
I agree with anderson 1234. Get the .gov or .edu sites when you can. Google will always put a high regard on them. Some will be follow some wont but in general get them while you can.
