I use a link on client sites not for a backlink, but to allow viewers to click through if they are pleased with the website and are seeking a design company… business referral.

I am fully white-hat and I don’t see this as tacky at all – many designers do this.

In the world of WWW this is some kind of a reference. It means something like "Hey, I like my website very much and this company did it so well". Or in the context of SEO "You see how high we rank in Google? It's because of that's company's hard and committed work!". As in a print copy, you are most likely to find the coordinates of the design studio and the printer etc., it is the same in the web. With the only one difference - In the WWW it's faster and far more comfortable to be reached via a hyperlink than from a telephone number. Don't you think? Moreover, in some cases that is stated in the contract and people don't beg for a backlink. They are aware of it from the very beginning.

Obviously SEO's want to increase their workflow (not to mention their cashflow) so they want links back to them. In reality though, it is incredibly tacky and I personally would never hire an SEO who would require a link to them. I also completely agree with your last paragraph how people wouldn't really trust your ranking if you have some ad/link for an SEO on your site. Just my two cents, thanks for sharing!! </p> I see both sides of the issue. Obviously SEO’s want to increase their workflow (not to mention their cashflow) so they want links back to them.
