does posting in froogle help ranking

[souffle]

I you post a product from a website on froogle does that help in ranking that site.

It might help your ranking in Froogle, but why should it help your ranking in Google?

IMHO if this were the case, it would be an open invitation to spammers.

well i mean if one of the ways google gets you ranked is through links. Is froogle considered a link

[webdoctor]

Read the robots.txt file from Froogle [froogle.google.com]

Looks to me like they've banned bots from indexing Froogle items -> Froogle items aren't going to count as extra links.

Aren't the 'links' actually redirects anyway?
