How to Find .edu and .gov Websites

Why are we looking for .edu and .gov sites you might ask? It’s simple. Google trusts those sites because they are used by the Government and schools, which, for the most part, are offering information to the people rather then trying to sell them something or scam them out of their money. Anyone can find .edu site, just type in .edu into Google and you will get a huge amount of them, 178 million to be exact. But finding those sites is not an issues, what we are trying to do is find the sites that will let us post out link on them. We want those backlinks because they are very valuable.

What we are essentially looking for here is blogs that we can post on. So some of you might get scared, “what if the Government comes knocking on my door” right. Don’t sweat, they have more important things to worry about, like two wars and the economy going down the toilet, than some kid posting link of some site all over their blogs. Well it’s safe unless you post links of pornographic sites, especially those tat involve children but I hope you are not that screwed up.

So we will be using good old Google to find those domains. There are different ways to this method but I will show you what works for me and then you can think of your own way to “hack” Google.

Method #1
Used to search for wordpress blogs

Go to Google and type this in:

1. site:.edu inurl:”wp-admin” +login
2. site:.edu inurl:wp-login.php +blog
3. site:.gov inurl:wp-login.php +blog

Method #2
Used to search for typical keyword combination found on blogs

Go to Google and type this in:

1. site:.edu “no comments” +blogroll -”posting closed” -”you must be logged in” -”comments are closed”
2. site:.gov “no comments” +blogroll -”posting closed” -”you must be logged in” -”comments are closed”
3. inurl:(edu|gov) “no comments” +blogroll -”posting closed” -”you must be logged in” -”comments are closed”

Method #3

Go to Google and type this in:

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

This is as simple as it gets. All you have to do now is go to each of these blogs, see where you can post a comment without login in, you can do that as well but it takes more time, and post your link. Also use either your website name or a keyword as a name when leaving a comment, unless there is a space for URL, because you can put anchor text to your site in your name and it will be almost unnoticeable to the admin of the blog.

Keep in mind that a lot of the blogs may use the no-follow attribute and Google will not pick up the backlink. This is too bad but Yahoo and the other search engines will. You will also have to spend time sifting through all the crappy PR0 student blogs and whatnot in order to find some decent PR blogs. This is why black hat can be time consuming to say the least.
