Default Link Value from Craigs List

What do you think of the link value from sites like Craigslist? Here's an example of a vacation rental property we used to rent as seen on craigslist. http://honolulu.craigslist.org/mau/vac/291884651.html (Not any longer). The anchor text is (Website) but it does lead back to our site.

Hmmmm doesn't show in the google link operator http://www.google.ca/search?num=100&...G=Search&meta= there has been a lot of talk about this, and I really don't think there is to much link love from Craigslist HOWEVER there is certainly a lot of users and potential customers, so worth every second it takes to submit anyways AND IF YOU GET LINK LOVE that is just an added perk.

I don't think there is any link value, mainly because you have to repost the ad in a week.

By the time the link juice passes you need to post again.... It's not worth it for links but it rocks for traffic.

What do you think of a link value from EBAY? If I post a listing on real estate section of EBAY, does that add any value?

General rule of thumb: The easier it is to acquire a link, the less value it has.

I do believe that ebay does a nofollow on links inside listings.

I only say this, because they want you to search, and find the listing on google, not the stores website.

Of the 17 links that Google gives me credit for, 2 of them are from Craigslist.
