Anyone has thought about .gov links and .edu links. Their importance is pretty well known. :D

Yes .gov and .edu always has good PR and many more features.

Agree .edu & .gov sites have more trust. not because they have a .edu .gov extension, but because they're almost by definition an authority, and they've had a website for quite a while, and they get linked to like crazy.

correlation, not causation.

the extension means nothing.

Well, trusts makes a lot of difference. I have noticed this at many places....Alan can you explain more on it....

sam · #5 (**permalink**) 08-14-07, 08:39

Yes Alan let us know the detail information of .gov and .edu

Alan.s · #6 (**permalink**) 08-15-07, 05:10

As I already mention that people trust them because they have authority in particular field and they are genuine we hardly see any spam or bad site having .edu & .gov. domains. Google also like those sites sites.

I think this link may give some idea http://www.seobook.com/archives/001816.shtml

Thanks for the link Alan.Very interesting stuff out there.Most of the people are aware of the fact that Google is bias towards .gov sites and .edu as well.

Alan.s · #10 (**permalink**) 08-17-07, 04:51

Well you need to search for directories with .edu & .gov domain in Google and them submit you site there. :p

Although there is a lot of debate about links from .edu and .gov domains are of high importance than links from general TLD websites, I assume .edu and .gov domains are still a lot more effective than the regular ones.

I am not sure who provides domain registeration for these domain names.

Alan.s · #15 (**permalink**) 09-01-07, 05:24

This domains are very valuable so it is distributed by government authorities and these are not easy to acquire, they are reserved for specific organization and educational institutes by meeting certain eligibilities.
