      In a past Q&A forum about web design companies adding footer links to the websites they make, I really liked Irving Weisses' solution where he stated:

      "I think the best solution is a dofollow homepage ONLY footer link. This is the highest PR page, usually the most traffic so good visibility for advertising,  you're not creating tons of sitewide links with identical anchor texts, and the owner is only leaking some PR on their homepage."

      I want to implement this but would like to know the best way to do this.  I deal Wordpress 95% of the time. Is there a plugin or CSS code that would allow me to put a Do follow link in the footer but make the link disappear on all the other pages?

      Thanks in advanced everyone 🙂

        Just add the following code to the footer.php file:

        YOUR_LINK_HERE

          • Does having a Blog link in the top level navigation provide any better SEO value, or would having it in a footer or top navigation work just as good?
