Will Looksmart Directory improve Google PR?

[JaneJane]

Hello People,

I was just wondering if Looksmart Directory will improve Google PR at all...

Besides that, any considerations on Looksmart in general as a (now) pay-per-click directory?

Thanks - Jane

Looksmart pages have page rank like any other linkk, so they help in Google like any other link.

Questions about using Looksmart itself should be addressed to the other forums.

steveb,

That would be true if the links actually worked for googlebot. But, unfortunately, they do not. Googlebot is explicitly forbidden from following the links, and never knows that it goes to your site.
