Local Search Citation Building - 2 links on 1 page?

[Tman3]

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?

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.
