Hi Lorel. I have found that if a website is launched with those footer to home keyword links, then it is almost as if Google ignores those. However, if they are added or removed as the website begins to rank, in general the rankings go south.

Be careful when adding or removing those footer links!:)

My site is a domain that I can afford to test with and do not rely on it for any income at the moment.
