Congratulations, I am very happy to have your content and how much quality and opportunity the national brings, I think it is an incredible initiative. https://clubdomusico.com.br/violao/como-tocar/

I think it is very good open attitude for suggestions, I quite enjoyed the space to leave our suggestions, very good I want to do on my site too https://escolaparaempreendedores.com.br/

Trevor and Paul: I updated the response to this question to reflect our current terms of service. Paul, you may want to move your comment to the feature suggestion area: http://www.nationbuilder.com/suggest That is where we gather feedback from customers on requested changes.

Seeing as this is an issue 2 years old, I’d like to refresh it and bring a better perspective as a Search Marketing professional who used to work for Yahoo. Putting a Nation Builder link in the footer of every site is bad for EVERYONE. Nation Builder and the sites.

Google has made it clear, explicitly so, that sites putting links on every page of OTHER domains such that aren’t contextually relevant (no relevant content surrounding them), will be a penalty for the site placing the links. In short, because sites are not relevant to Nation Builder (that is, they aren’t sites about community platforms such as Nation Builder), AND because there is no contextual content, AND because they are in the footer: Google will penalize NationBuilder.com. Why you would want to do this is beyond me when you add to it the fact that you are losing potential customers will not pay to use the service and then have to promote the service AND get their own sites penalized by Google because of the link on every page of the site’s footer.

Two years ago it was known not to do this though, in fairness, moreso in the professional SEO circles. Today, this is fairly common knowledge:

I don’t mind the link at the bottom being there to help support Nationbuilders but maybe we could work on the wording, right now it implies that Nationbuilders has built the entire site, which would be nice as it’s taking me hours and hours to build the site for my purpose, Maybe you could use the the words like Nationbuilders created the software that runs this site

Hi Alan, this is still a part of our terms of service. No customers are given special approval to remove “Created with NationBuilder”. If customers have removed it, they are asked to add it back.

I too have seen sites without the “nationbuilder” tag. Also, I have found other sites that have very competitive pricing, so I don’t understand the response that you provided the user.

If we could pay a little more (like with WIX.com), I believe users would appreciate it and would pay the cost

I’ve seen sites using NationBuilder that you are promoting on your own site with the “Created with NationBuilder” link removed. Have they received special approval, or has this policy been reversed?

Agree. Looking at alternative platforms because of this requirement. And also agree with @richard Cruz – the price is not that low.

This really limits my ability to market this system to my clients. I need a system that I can rebrand. A fee for doing so seems like it would be a reasonable option.

firstly, the prices aren’t as low as you think to justify a free and obtrusive ride. secondly, this is my third time trying to convince a client to use nationbuilder for the community building aspect. the first two clients went with strikingly and godaddy because they refused the unsightly credit line and limited ability to minimize the visual impact. this is the third and final try for me….already researching alternate services with similar functionality.

There should be an option to remove it for a fee. I am out proposal $10,000 websites and the first objection I have to over come is why it cost so much
