Hi friends,
I wanted to get people's opinion on putting attribution links on your clients' websites in the footer. (i.e. Website design by.... or Digital Marketing by...). I know people have been doing this since the beginning of time but personally I'm feeling it's less and less relevant. Historically we have always made it a rel="nofollow" link but I'm not even sure if we want to do this anymore. That being said, we actually have gotten a handful of leads/clients from people clicking on those attribution links over the years so.....
The second part of the question is I frequently see agencies link to their clients' sites in blog posts, case studies etc. (usually rel="follow") almost as a freebie link for their client. Would this look sketchy to Google if they also had an attribution link in the clients' site back to them, even if it's nofollow? (reciprocal links?)
Thanks!
