---- Importance of Yahoo and Looksmart to PR

Hi. It is true that a listing in all three is important for traffic, but is it the case that the only one that has a potential influence on link popularity and a Google ranking would be the DMOZ listing? My reasoning for this is that the links in Yahoo! and LookSmart are indirect links (routed through their proprietary trackers before ultimately sent to the final destination). By the way, is there an official/unofficial name for these intermediate links? Tracking URLs?

Zeal, though, unlike LookSmart, has direct links that could be valuable for link pop purposes. Right?
