Making deep links to your page on BBB or DMOZ - Effective or waste of time?

[qlkasdjfw]

Hi,

Has anyone tried making links to a deep links to a page on an external site (like dmoz or the bbb) which has a link to your website?

Of course, you might wonder "it depends on the type of link" you make to this larger site.

Let's say it's a link (without no-follow) on a forum or blog comment - low-quality but on a decent site.

Anyone think this may have some benefit to increase the chance / rate that your own link from another site will be indexed more and provide more benefit? A dmoz link is great, but it's on the backpages because it's a huge site, opensiteexplorer hardly indexes dmoz links.

Google crawls based on a priority-system that is tied, at least in part, to the value of each page. A high-value page will be updated more often than a low-value page, theoretically. Of course, the regularity with which pages are updated on the site will have an impact on the crawl rate as well.

Both DMOZ and BBB are updated fairly regularly, so my vote would be to spend your time building links to your own site rather than these other linking pages. If they haven't been spidered yet by Google, I would try tweeting them out to a few friends who, in turn, retweet them, to see if you can convince Google that it is worth taking a look at. Beyond that, don't waste your time helping someone else's page rank, build the links directly to your own.
