The identified search query has three important parts to it. First, include the keyword you are looking for. It’s wise to consider the niche of your website as a keyword.

Great post, you have really simplified the process of achieving .gov & .edu links, on the other hand however such blogs & forums use the nofollow attribute as its become a spamming issue with people simply trying to get there backlink count up. I suggest checking if the blog/forum uses the nofollow attribute before wasting time posting on them.
Great article though. =)

Thanks man for this great piece of information. But on second comment above, how can I check if a blog or a forum is using a no-follow attribute?
Is the attribute publicly visible, or do you have to ask the site owner?
Dar,
First, you need to view source. Then, see if there is this attribute “rel=’nofollow” in the link tag. If it’s there, it means that the link fill not be followed.
