How To Get .edu and .gov Backlinks

As part of my linking strategy, which includes article writing, social profile links, and some text link ads, I recommend a heavy emphasis on authority links from .edu and .gov links. Google sees links on .edu and .gov links as authoritative – even though they’re almost always free to get. Getting “authority links” is one [...]
