Well Click Bait doesn't help in link building. Its something used in Social media mostly to get quick traffic. Yes a good catchy title will get people to click your links. But the content is not upto their satisfaction then that traffic won't convert.

Gov / Edu links will work if those pages have a good domain authority and and page authority. If not those will be just like spam links with no value. The theory behind Gov or Edu links are since those are from government or reputed education institutions those pages them selves have good link profiles making those pages strong. Plus if these are authentic government or institution pages then there won't be many out going links from those. that's another reason. This is not the case in most cases.
