re: Is the Customer Always Right?

Jami,

I think you have to put aside your personal wishes - unless having the link
was a condition of your contract/agreement with the client, you don't have a
leg to stand on. After all, it is his site, as you say (if you have made it
very sticky, then visitors leaving the site shouldn't be a problem for him,
of course!)

Can you persuade him to put it in very small text, or as a discreet button,
or have an acknowledgements page where your details appear, instead of on
the home page?

Or offer him a commission if you get any work through the link?

If you are very sneaky, you could put a link on a single-pixel transparent
GIF - some SEs will follow this although it won't be much good for humans.

Just some ideas.

Kind regards,

Lois Wakeman
