Simplest method to get .edu and .gov links

These 3 Google search queries take you directly to the main blog pages by searching for .EDU and .GOV domains containing the keyword terms “no comments” and “blogroll” which are keywords commonly found on blogs. You can always mess around with different sets of the keywords for additional search results. The "keywords" are enclosed with the (") quotation symbol.

* site:.edu “no comments” +blogroll -”posting closed” -”you must be logged in” -”comments are closed”
* site:.gov “no comments” +blogroll -”posting closed” -”you must be logged in” -”comments are closed”
* inurl:edu|gov “no comments” +blogroll -”posting closed” -”you must be logged in” -”comments are closed”

Here is one more method of querying Google but it does limit the results by requiring the URL to contain the term "blog". It does have an advantage though in that it allows you to filter your searches by using the trailing "keyword" in the query. For example you can put a date like "2007" in the trailing "keyword" location and this will eliminate older inactive blogs from being listed in the SERP's. You can use this trailing keyword for specifying "country" or "city" or "university" etc. Basically you can narrow your searches however you like.

site:.edu inurl:blog “comment” -”you must be logged in” -”posting closed” -”comment closed” “keyword”


Find .EDU and .GOV backlinks based on the typical URL structure of the most popular blog management software (i.e. Wordpress):

The following queries target .EDU and .GOV domains hosting the main wordpress login file “wp-login.php” or the Wordpress admin path “/wp-admin/”. This simply means that the domain hosts a blog. These queries will take you to the Wordpress login page - don't panic as you just simply click the link that points back to the blog's homepage - you don't have to login to post comments. (some sites will make you login - skip them and search for those that don't)

* site:.edu inurl:wp-login.php +blog
* site:.gov inurl:wp-login.php +blog
* site:.edu inurl:”wp-admin” +login

Just cut and paste any of these 3 queries into your Google search box and see what you get.


Keep this in mind; most of the "comments" are moderated so you will have to leave a relevant comment about the subject matter if you want your comment to be posted.
some "names" will automatically be flagged as spam and your comment will never reach the moderator. Keywords like "free" "sex" "money" etc should never be used.

hope it will help u

 

What ever happened to creating great content?

 

ya you are right but
it may help lot of newbies who want .edu or .gov backlinks n some even want to pay for it

so it may help

 

Nice suggestions, but I think the key is getting dofollow blogs. Otherwise the backlinks don't really count yeah?

 

mostly wordpress blog are dofollow

 

I think this is exactly the reason that places like DP are complete holes for newbies. Advice like this. New online marketers should be educated to build links AND authority by creating great content and building a brand.

So many people fail and even go bankrupt because of silly advice that they can achieve great things by WASTING their time spamming government blogs. Do you not think search engines have considered things like this already?

Would it not be better to promote above par content generation? Invest in CONTENT rather than spammy links that will eventually be removed?

 

will take a look on this. thanks for sharing.

 

I think most wordpress blogs are nofollow, unless the owner of the blog put your link in the blogroll section. Is there a way to alter these searches to include blogs that have the plugin "top commentators"?

 

See? This is exactly what I'm talking about. Would you not spend the MANY hours you would spend waiting on someone to post and writing a comment on something more productive like creating a piece of content that is compelling and useful?

Yea, I think I'm done here.

 

Don't spend too much time on this act. I will share my experience here. First, if you looking for some PR weight, you might get disappointed as most of them are nofollow (unless you use this tool). Second, these site are being monitor closely on the comments, normally the comment will get deleted within a day or two. Third, even if you success to leave a comment, the traffics gathered from these sites might not be the one you want (if you are looking for impulse buyers or someone who will click on your adsense ad).

Want to find dofollow blogs on your first search? Don't want to wade through tons of nofollow .edu's and .gov's for NOT that much authority?

Try my dofollow blogs search engine.

 

Hi,

I tried your search engine and found most of the results are still nofollow... I don't think it is really reliable. Can you help? Thanks.

 

WP blog comments are nofollow by default and that's what the majority of wp blogs are unless the owner used a dofollow plugin or changed the code.

 

This was very helpful info. Does anyone have a dofollow list of .edu and .gov sites

 

A really easy way to do this is with my method of finding high pagerank internal pages and then commenting on those. Here's my detailed article on commenting on dofollow blogs.

 

.edu/.gov links are good with anyone. Everyone would like more traffic, and pagerank and serps and stuff, so any backlink is goo, as long as it's at least a little relevant
