Hi guys, SEO is not my job, but I am learning it for my own personal education. So, I put blog up and building links. Now i created a footprint and located gov and edu blogs to which I would like to respond to. The challenge is - none of them seem to have afield for URL, so there is no ability to leave a link (in the body of message HTML is not working). These forums have opportunity to login with Open ID, Google account, Leave journal etc. But it give me no link juice. Could you please advise how to go around this issues? Thank you.
I think it's better to find another .edu or .gov site than what you have right now. Most of the .edu and .gov are now using those for security measures of being spammed to death.
There are already too many of such spams till edu and gov web sites typically ban any submissions. Frankly speaking, I don't see the point of trying to have such backlinks. You are just making a nuisance of yourself.
