Links to main landing category page or links directly to products

[dsmolinski]

I have an ecommerce website and a manufacturer is providing links directly to my website from their products pages because they do not sell directly online.

What is my best linking juice power for this situation:
Manufacturer A has a number of different brands: brand1, brand2, brand3 and a number of different products in each of it brands.

They are currently linking their individual products to my individual products on my website.

My website is setup like this:
my.com/manufacture-A
my.com/manufacture-A/brand1
my.com/manufacture-A/brand1/product1
my.com/manufacture-A/brand1/product2
my.com/manufacture-A/brand2
my.com/manufacture-A/brand2/product1
my.com/manufacture-A/brand2/product2

What is the best practice for this situation:
--Linking manufacturer product to my product
--Linking manufacturer product to my associated brand page
--Linking manufacturer product to main manufacturer page
--or something else?

Thank you and I can provide more details if need be.

Hi Denny,

Where do you currently rank for the product, brands and manufacturer page?  Will the link be followed?

If the product has some decent search volume then I would ask for that link to the product directly to help further improve the ranking.
