A simple google search will tell you how to remove these links. But personally, I think it is fair enough. Everybody has to earn money. If a theme designer decides to sell a couple of links in the footer of their site is there really any harm done? The links are very easy to remove for those that don’t wish them to be there. However I think that it should be limited to a maximum of 3 links.

This was an interesting read. I recently got into WordPress (previously used MovableType) and used a theme that had such links. I didn’t think much of it then, removed them and left the link back to the designer of the theme and forgot about it.
Reading this has definitely opened my eyes to something I know I would not like. I’ll be checking the code carefully when I get home tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

I am also confused. The only reason one’s page rank will go down because the site is displaying a link will because of bad neighborhood. For affiliate links it would not.

But again I am not a user of those themes so I don’t know if they are also linking to bad neighborhood or not. Who knows.

Hmm, that’s pretty sneaky if true. More and more people are getting into blogging and wordpress themes, even to the point where some aspiring blogger may not even know how to remove a link from the template page.
