Local Search Citation Building - 2 links on 1 page?
-
I have the opportunity to display information about a business on a handfull of high PR web pages (with relevant content, not directory listings). I'd like to use these listings to build local search citations and homepage authority/rank for chosen anchortext.
The format allows name, address, phone number, email & url plus a description of the business (short paragraph that can contain a link) - see below.
Should I link from the homepage url and body anchor text? Will search engines ignore the anchor text used in the 2nd link?
Example Limited, 123 Example Road, London N12 3AA United Kingdom
Tel: 020 712 3456 Email: ** hello@example.com**
**Web: www.example.com **
A unique service offering special widgets to customers in the London area

Hi! We're going through some of the older unanswered questions and seeing if people still have questions or if they've gone ahead and implemented something and have any lessons to share with us. Can you give an update, or mark your question as answered?
Thanks!

Ok, thanks. So I could point www.example.com to the homepage, but how many links could I pop in the paragraph copy (going to the same domain)? For example, Special widgets (going to www.example.com/special-widgets) and big widgets (going to www.example.com/big-widgets)?

If the second link goes to the same url, the anchor text will be ignored. If you are looking for local ranking, I'd suggest pointing the second link to the page containing your physical address.

Link to those that link to you? Worthwhile?
We have thousands and thousands of sites that link to a domain we are working on, many with low page authority and high domain (bloggers, forum posts, etc). Has anyone experimented with linking to the pages that link to you (not from your site) but from other means in an effort to boost their quality? I'm not sure what method we would use, maybe some relevant blog comments or social votes. But curious if this could be an effective method.

Directories and Link Building
I was reading a post by Eric Enge, http://www.seomoz.org/blog/role-of-directories-in-link-building and nobody talked about in the comments, so I want to see what you think: Considering that get some bad links from punished directories is bad for your site, it's worth to use site submissions softwares, like SubmitEaze, that promisses a 1,000 submits?
