Want .gov Links? Then Make a .gov Website!
How hard do you think it is to get .gov and .edu links to your site?
If you said hard, super hard, or impossible, you’re wrong. I already uncovered easy and free ways to get .edu links, but now I’ll show you how to get .gov links the easy way. (But note, I didn’t say it’s the cheap way…)
You start the process by reading up on how to qualify for a .gov domain name.
Then just start your own city.
Once that’s taken care of, you can request your .gov domain!
(OK, maybe starting your own city does qualify as “hard”
)
But seriously, you might be able to start an organization that is part of your local city government, and end up with a domain name like myorganization.mycity.gov. Or, slightly easier, try to partner with some agency that’s part of your local government. Maybe you can convince them to link to your related website.
Then it just becomes a question of “How much is a .gov link actually worth??”
