Still chasing for .edu link or .gov link as one of your Link Building Effort ? Read what Matt Cutts say about .edu link here, and you could read more Questions and answers from the third online Webmaster Chat from October 22, 2008 there.
TylerDee, TX: Are .gov and .edu back links still considered more “link juice” than the common back link?
Matt Cutts: This is a common misconception–you don’t get any PageRank boost from having an .edu link or .gov link automatically. Hah John, I beat you to it! If you get an .edu link and no one is linking to that .edu page, you’re not going to get any PageRank at all because that .edu page doesn’t have any PageRank.
JohnMu: We generally treat all links the same - be it from .gov or .edu or .info sites.

And what about me ?
Actually, I don’t care about that. What I’ve done for this Busby SEO blog and for my Busby SEO Test Page is enough. I’m not place .edu or .gov link in my first list of my Link Building effort. But if someone offer .edu link to me, why not :)).
