Are .gov & .edu backlinks important?
I have been running through some videos through a program I just installed called Traffic travis. In these videos they have a seperate catagory for .edu and .gov backilinks just wondering if these are more important than other backlinks and why?

So when I see a site that has 34,000 backlinks this doesn't make there site any better then mine with 5 or 6, if I am understanding correctly?
Nope, the content is ultimately what matters. Also, if your both in separate niche's you shouldn't even try to compare yourself to them because they are in a completely different category.
To me they stand for government and education these two sites what ever they are or where ever they are the government or education will not going anywhere so if you get a good backlink to a gov you have a good backlink it is more secured I the eyes of google I hope I didn't steer you down the wrong direction if anybody has anything more or if I am wrong saying this jump in and correct I will be back to see answers

.gov and .edu are used for government and schools. We are not comparing apples to apples, Even if 20 years ago backlinks may have been useful they really are no longer.
