First off - if you use the link: command on google you are only seeing a small sampling of what Google knows about a site - its not a reliable tool
To answer your questions and to use ladydesigners site as an example - she has both a hardcoded link (not cgi-jump) to the free sites (if you need to check this just go to any category listing and look at the url for any free site listed there) as well as the detailed jump for each free site listed - which if you look at the detailed page it also has a straight hardcoded link to the free site. This means that getting listed on her site you get twice as many links to your free site as a normal LL
As far as the cgi-jump links - Google has been able to index those for years and does push PR through those links easily - and yes the way the script works google actually gets the hardcoded link behind the cgi so again its a great way to run a script - as good as having a hardcoded link on the category page
Now I do have to agree with you on the LLs that are using the double LL recips although that is all the same person and he has been a problem since he first showed up - I dont believe any of his LLs actually take any submissions anymore??
