Google and links pages

[Jaffro]

I've noticed with my new site, and msn emotions actually, that there's something about a links page that seems to attract google - or at least my links pages!

My new site was crawled for the first time about a week ago, and a day or so later it was showing up in the 'allinurl:...' search. today the allinurl search brings up my root and the 'related_links.php' links page.

I was wondering if a page with out going links or just a lot of links has some sort of importance, i get the same thing with my msn emotions site on an allinurl search also - where the links page shows up second. Also see it on chro's sites also.

insight anyone? :)

links pages can rank well, if they are themed and not just a hodge podge of random links going to random sites.

it all seems to depend on how well organized the site is

It is likely that your links page is fairly keyword heavy if your links are on topic. Always good for ranking high on a keyword :)
