    1. Go to that webdirectory

    2. Navigate to see how a usual “link/site info” page looks like
    For example this one->

    3. Right click on the page, go to the View Source option

    4. Check for the link pointing to the site

    5. The link should be something like
    ” Link name

    6. If the link above has the text “rel=nofallow” then, it will not transfer PR to your site.

    Always try to fallow the steps I show for the webdirectory.

    Cheers.
