Backlin from which source is considered best?

[temi]

Please take a moment to vote to choose a back link you think will have the best SERP benefits for the site it links to. Lets assume the links are from pages with the same PR

Aren't one way links the best links to have?

 

[temi]

Yes it is, but there are links and there are links.

I adore the links from blogposts. They effectively improve the rankings so i voted on the contents based link

 

[temi]

what do you think of directory links?

 

[Bagi Zoltán]

It mainly depends on the directory. I mean there are many ways that the directory owners could grab to improve the passed relevance and the importance as well. For instance static keyword rich hypened URLs...

Conextual links are better.

Huh??? There are links and theres are links???

 

[Bagi Zoltán]

I guess Temi was thinking about the different relevance passing abilities. In general we can claim that more the content on a page is, the more relevance it pass. Of course the location of the link (header, in text, footer) have different passing abalities.

Here is what I mean.
The weight of a link from your website homepage, is more than the weight of a link from three folder deep within your website.

Depends how you are measuring 'weight'.

On a directory, a link from
home>health(1level) >illnesses (2nd level) > chest infections (3rd level)

would be far better than a homepage link, if the target site is about bronchitis.

That said, if we are talking about PR weight, then chances are the homepage will be higher

Content based links -- the rest are just playing games.

I mean relevance and PR really. OWG's answer hit the nail in the head on both relevance and PR.
Which is also more or less what Bagi referrers to: a link from say a web design page of a web hosting site pointing to a web design site is more relevant than a link on the homepage of a web hosting site pointing to a web design site.
