High Quality Backlinks

Government Website (.Gov sites) links vary in quality just like other Website links. The special benefits you gain from these kinds of links are that you know these kinds of sites get traffic and they are far less likely to lose their ability to pass value than typical commercial blogs.

I would not devote a lot of time and resources to obtaining government links but there is no limit to the potential benefit/value you can gain from them. One of my Websites brings in several government links a year. Maybe I could get more if I reached out to government Webmasters but I don't have time for that.

If you absolutely need a minimum then I suggest something in the 2-5 links per month range, but that really depends on your vertical.
