One thing that I can't prove, but is likely true, is that .gov links are highly undervalued by google rankings. There are many many cases where a government web site provides the most obvious best result, but the fact that they don't do SEO or pay google forces the result too far down the page.
- chipperyman573 11y agoTheir websites are also pretty... awful. I usually find much more valuable information on non .gov sites just because it's not hidden fifty links deep. The only valid reason (imo) to go to a .gov site is to e-file (or whatever they're calling it) something.
- kolbe 11y agoI completely disagree. The site design is usually web 1.0 cringeworthy, but the content is trustworthy, accurate and truly free.
