I am planning to implement Partner pages on all of my client's sites that will list businesses with a paragraph, logo and link - like seen here http://www.mtnviewcarpetcare.com/links.html Does anyone understand how this will affect the SEO of target sites listed on the partners page? I would assume a positive, especially with keyword rich anchor text, but how much will the entire site's content affect the value of the link relative to the paragraph about the company affecting the link value? Thank you in advance! Charles Montgomery http://www.nwesource.com
It won't hurt. But it is hard too say how much it will help those you link to. Gooogle says it does not like link exchanges or pages full of links (link farms), so you will have to wait and see if it gets indexed and receives page rank.
