Re: directories passing on the
PR and keyword rich (ie.anchor text) links .
If a directory (free or pay doesn't matter), for example let's call the directory joeblowsbestdirectory.com, has a link to your site that sells widgets say :
"The Best Widgets In town" was the anchor text. The link behind the anchor text pointed to :
www.joeblowsbestdirectory.com/?linkid=1093 (or some number to refer to your entry in the DB). That link then redirects to your widget shop's URL.
Firstly : would the directory in question pass on its page rank (so to speak) like a directory that had a direct link to yoru website? or are they trying to scam
PR hungry webmasters to either pay, recip for a listing?
Secondly would such a listing help with keyword link popularity? Like in a normal directory that links directly, it is believed that such a DIRECT link say with the keywords "Widgets" would help somewhat (small or large doesn't matter and isn't the question) the site in question for the term Widgets in say Google or whatever.
Hope this makes sense.
