I voted for No, but I couldn't really care less if it's unobtrusive. Do the search engines not check backlinks for relevance? It's all secret, I know, but there are sites out there with the speculation and testing to see what works and what doesn't. |

Yeah relevance is an important factor, but the search engines don't completely discard an irrelevant link, it's just worth a bit less. |

Actually, I think this was a bad idea. Obviously some people are opposed to this and see it as a suspicious scheme of some sort. I'd rather not bother - especially after what happened with WoS. Nevermind chaps, thanks for voting anyway. I just saw it as a way to cover Grim...'s costs as well as another small opportunity for my company.

You asked-obviously Grim wasn't so opposed to it because he didn't say 'no' outright. I'm sure if it was that bad he would have done so. By leaving it up to people on the forum (who use it) then he's ensuring it won't pee people off having it, thusly everyone's happy then. And people aren't overse to it looking at the poll count |
