Each forum user has their own profile page on which you can usually add a link. You have one on this forum. However, I'll repeat - don't waste too much time on .edu and .gov backlinks because there is NO proof that they are any more effective than other TLDs.
Not only .edu but also .gov links are considered specially by google. We should developed links on .edu and .gov as much a we can.
It really depends on how 'spammed' the site is, same as any link. A link from a .EDU url is classed as better than usual, but if the page has loads of other outbound links Google will surely not hold it in good authority. If you can find a .EDU blog to comment on that only has between 10 and 30 other comments and it is 'do-follow' than your site should benefit.
EDU domains have more "trust" with search engines. So if you have links on EDU sites you will gain more weight which will help boost search engine rankings.
I did my self by adding website and commenting on EDU blogs and website, You can get good Page rank by making EDU back links
You need to look deeper at who links to the sites - not just what their PR is - and if possible who links to the sites which link to the site you are getting a link from. Thats where the quality lies - not in the domain extension itself - .edu is rated highly because it probably has authoritative sites linking into it - but it might not have then iot is is no different from any other site
Matt cutts in his recent video states they treat edu sites the same weight as other sites having the same PR.
Edu links are still credible. We can rank far better with edu backlinks than without edu backlinks especially for new sites.
