Should Blacklist Business Directories/Listings?

Hello,
There are business directories where list thousands of web sites, similar to yelp. Can the software find a company from an arbitrary business directory and then click the company's web site and then can it find contact form there?

Or will it only make search on the original domain (the business directory) and because of this should we blacklist business directories?

    So it searches on business directories and click company website links and find contact form on company web sites ? 

    So if it visits a site it can move to other domains from that site and make search on other domain also? What is the depth of thi search because there should be a jumping limit otherwise software can search whole worldwide web from just a single company website?

    Also should I make any settings on software to make it search on busiess directory listings?

    Parsing directories is same as with search engines. You just need to add it in se.dat file. Just have a look into that and you will quickly see how it works.

    Ok, checked it out and understood. There is small difference between search engine and business directory. On search engines you access the compay site when you click the company title but on business directory you access the website of the company when click the "website" link. On business directory you are still on business directory page when you click the "company title". So software makes distinction of this?

    hmm indeed then it's a problem if there is no direct link on the result page.
