I am doing SEO for my website. I am getting my ranking in 1 to 20 in Google on most of the keywords. But now I want to get my ranking in 1 to 10 in Google. But my most of the competitors are .edu and .gov sites. As you all know that Google gives more importance to .edu sites and .gov sites. Sometimes I was ranking 1 to 10 on some of keywords but my ranking is staying there only for sometimes.
So now what I should to do for getting my ranking in 1 to 10 in Google.
Give me your suggestion and ideas.
Thanks in Advance.
In fact there are some long-standing .edu domains that have been grandfathered to their owners who would not pass today's eligibility requirements. There are also some newer .edu rules that allow the edu TLD for second-tier types of schools - regionally accredited schools rather than nationally accredited,for example. Neither of these two types of edu domain shows the kind of ranking that we would expect, if just the TLD alone were a factor.
However, many or most of the .edu and .gov domains, simply because of who they represent, tend very naturally to get the kind of quality and quantity in their backlink profile that helps them rank well.
In other words, Google's algo doesn't need to look at the TLD to generate the kinds of results we currently see. So study the urls that are doing well, and see what you need to come up with to compete. They definitely can be topped.

Not so; simply an SEO myth, I'm afraid.

Build a better site than your rivals, be they .com, .gov, or .edu - it's important to understand your competitors, and try to see what they are doing that you are not. But it's never wise to give up on the basis of SEO rumours!
