Get .EDU and .GOV Backlinks
One of the most important factors for every webmaster or a blogger is a link building or link development. Most of them don’t know why links from the .edu or .gov links are important and good. Getting a few one-way backlinks may give your site more link popularity and rankings most probably.
The biggest benefit to .edu or .gov backlinks is that Google marks these sites as a highly trusted sites. That’s mostly a truth, because these sites would provide you educational (.edu) and government (.gov) information. Also, these domain name extensions can’t be purchased publicly.
How to Get EDU or GOV Backlinks?
Most government and educational sites have a high page-rank from Google. Also, most of them have their own blogs where you can post a comments and get some free backlinks. That’s the way you can use to get some quality links from the trusted .gov or .edu domains.
Way 1: Find Blogs through Google
There’re many methods to get a quality backlink from your website or a blog. The free-way is for sure the most cost-effective way to get some quality backlinks for your site.
To find a blogs through Google, you’ll need to use following syntax.
blog site:edu
blog site:gov
Using the above syntax, you’re telling Google to find the sites related to the blog term and using .edu or .gov domain extension. Of course, you can use syntax you want to find a successful blog on these domain name extensions.
Way 2: Buy Them!
Yes, a second method you can try is to buy the links on the .edu websites. I think that shouldn’t work on .gov websites because they’re strictly restricted to the government sites.
Anyway, every now and then someone on the DP Forums post to sell the links from their own .edu websites. Some of them even tries to sell you the permanent reviews on .edu blogs.
Unfortunately, most of these offers are much more expensive than from other sites. That’s because they’re very quality and they’re on the good voice among bloggers and webmasters through the internet!
Final Thoughts
Well, everything is not good as you think it is. If you’re going to post a comment (and make a backlink from it) on these blogs to get some quality link juice, you’ll need to know the following.
Backlink from the no-follow links are countless and not worth because search engines don’t see these links. Take care to post as much as you can on the blogs which have regular links instead. Unfortunately, almost 99% of these blogs has no-follow attribute attached to their own links.
So, it’s going to be very hard to find one with “no-follow” disabled. Good luck with your link development!

i just find one useful information that, The all blogs have no fallow links, which are considerable and the other things is this that google doesn't count no fallow link which are really points me. and i m really very conscious about that.
.EDu and .Gov links are both very effective when it comes to SEO, i strongly recommended this to all who are still looking for strong links.
I have done it already but did not find the blogs with dofollow, they are all nofollow and you know that nofollow will not give any juice to your link.
You said not easy to find blog or site with dofollow attribute and 90% blogs are nofollow then how can we find dofollow blogs or site, can say something about it.
Yes. If you are looking for very helpful links, use .edu and .gov links

There are also some tricky searches to find .edu and .gov back links. Like search – ".edu" + "blog"
