Joeant and other directories

My site is indexed in joeant and other PR4 and above directories...I thought google loved joeant?!!? Whay aren't these showing as links. Why does www-fi see 23 links to my url using the ggogle-dance tool but when I put the fi address in and search my url using link: it only finds three??? It doesn't make sense to me...does it to anyone else?

i also have sites in Joeant whichdont register in google's links and i have no idea why either!

ooops. sorry boys & girls. letting my frustration with googler get the better of me.

where do you get your traffic from floogle?

Joeant uses session ids, maybe google is having a hard time reading the URLs:

I just clicked on Internet:
http://www.joeant.com/DIR/cat/270?PHPSESSID=1dc3e3f4a6046cccbcc359a1f5599812

as of about 30 minutes ago, nowhere.

anything you have been doing that would get you taken out of the index?

no. now it only shows 2 pages (old ones, cached) from my 65 page site ... ho hum. overture it is then...

what is your website?

Since when do we use session ID's? We have about 63.500 links in Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=+site:www.joeant.com+joeant) and not of them have a session ID.

Hi hbird64 - i see the links but i must admit i have domains with you that havnt been picked up by G - not as a link back anyway (just part of the url)

I have posted this as a thread, but nobody seems to answers, so perhaps some of you could answer my question here,

Lets say I would submit a site to lots of web directories that are indexed by google. Of course the directories, as I submit to them, will create links to my page, but the thing is, most of the directories don't create a DIRECT link to my website, most of them use redirect pages, for example, thedirectory.com/lists.php?out=1&id=2432 It redirects to my page, for sure, but will google consider it as a backlink? I'm not sure..

does anybody have a proof? or something :|

ST,

Google can read these links but the more variables (i.e. ?, =, & signs) the less likely it will consider it a link.

Here is an example of Google considering a link with a URL with a redirect as a backlink.

Google link: on a client's domain name. See third result.

The news item that Google got the back link from my Web site RustyBrick Launches Care Security Systems Corporate Site

You see the URL i used to send a link to my client is http://www.rustybrick.com/go.php?url=www.care-inc.com

And Google does consider that a backlink. It contains only two variables strings (1 ? and 1 = sign)

oh, thanks rusty brick! By the way, lots of people say that google only follows links with less than 2 strings.. I am sorry, but I have a website that uses way more than 2 strings (3+), and google gets all the pages indexed.
