For directory websites, which one is better for external links considering the following?
1)Use direct url when linking to external links, e.g. http://externallink.com
2)Use the tracking feature of WSN links, e.g http://mysite.com/links/1234
3)Use a frame to frame out external links( Thanks Synozeer), e.g. http://mysite.com/frame.php?id=1234
4)use the rel="nofollow
Considering the first option, i guess most directory sites using this have a low pagerank. Am i correct? Because most pageranks are passed to outside links. And search engines will see your pages as no content because you only link out to others.
For second option, i was using the tracking and found it useful. I guess most directory websites using this have high page rank because of no external links at all. But since someone said in somewhere that this triggers the Google penalty because of webmasters 302 others page.
For third, some webmasters are suggesting not to use this because of ehtical issue. Masking others link are not ethical for some webmasters.
For fourth, never tried this, might give it a try?
What is your opinion? Feel free to correct me if i am wrong. I am still debating with myself of which options should i choose here. |
