But does it do any good if the blogs are nofollowing the links?

Step 3. Check if it is a ‘dofollow’ or ‘nofollow’ blog and take only ‘dofollow’ ones into consideration.

the reason edu\gov links are of such high quality is the quality of the content and inbound links pointing to those specific sites.
Great tip ..thanks

I heard about .gov links before, I searched some of them, I tried to post a comment, but I dint find any link, now after reading the code, i found what I have to do.
Previously I found a high page rank .edu blog, I commented 3 to 4 comments, that too related to the topic, but they deleted the comment. I observed through the whole blog, there was no comment at all, atleast one comment.

You would assume that Google would not give full “edu credit” to links gained in such a manner? What do you think?
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:41 am
Do your links need to be on theme to gain any benefit from an .edu link?

Get in while you can. These sites are catching on quick and all going no follow one by one…due to too many morons spamming crappy comments.

Cause of this, many .edu adn .gov site realize this technique and more and more hot site were making there comments to be “no follow”. For now it’s hard to find the Do Follow one. Any one now? please share to others.

Hello just stumbled your blog and i thank you for your story it was informative. I am interested about doing link building for my website too. Have you used the scrapebox.com tool? If so is it good? If not then what is the best tool? Thank you.
March 28th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Scrapebox.com is a very good tool and I have used it personally. Its very helpful.

Try this one
site:.gov inurl:blog + “will not be published”. This will search for a “Mail” field that has that text. That way we know it is a place for posting a blog comment. Thank for the tip. I hope my tip also helped.
