is this a good way to promote dhtml menu builders?

[faedia]

actually my company have a product too that is a dynamic menu builder, so im talking about

this sincerely.

some software producer inserts a line of codes like "producted by xxxx" and their website

address (in hyperlink or not) into menus that produced using thier builder,usually the

customer dont realize this and it does not do any bad to the menus.

i'm only ask here what do you think of this, is this commen or not?

or does this mean an unfair competition, as many websites using his menu is a hiding

promotion to this menu builder and the producer easily win lots of backlinks -- even their

customers never know about it.

I think it is right and fair to include your company name and copyright information in the source of the resulting HTML so that anyone who views the source knows where it came from. This should be disclosed to the end user and a requirement that this is not removed.

As far as backlinks go, anything is fair game IF you inform the purchaser. You should inform the purchaser of any branding/linking/etc that you plan to use.

Yea sure its fair to insert a backlink, but for me... i hate to use stuff that has a backlink on my site. It had better be like really really good or i won't use the service.
