Following Penguin, what is the best practice for a web design agency placing a footer link in client sites?
I know this almost a year after it was asked, but since I was doing a little research, I thought I'd provide a solution I came up with. When I design a site, I want an attribution link on every page. I can't rely on a visitor saying "I love this site, who designed it?" 3 levels deep, not finding an attribution at the bottom, then thinking that they'd find it on the home page. It doesn't even make good usability sense. So here's what I set out to do with my sites moving forward: Still doing Sitewide links, but only the link on the Home Page will be followed. All other links will be NoFollowed. If you use WordPress, you can use the following conditional statement. (Of course you'll want to replace your own Anchor Text and URL (unless you design pretty websites and want to give me the credit ). if ( is_front_page() ) { echo "[](;</span><span style=) [ echo "http://flauntyoursite.com"; echo ">Flaunt Your Site](;</span><span style=)"; } else { echo "[ echo "http://flauntyoursite.com";](;</span><span style=)[ echo " rel="; echo "nofollow"; echo ">Flaunt Your Site](;</span><span style=)"; } ?> It's important to leave the Space between the " and the rel=" otherwise it will collapse the url into something not readable and give you a 404 when you try to click it. Hope this helps some of you.
