gouri, that sounds like a usability nightmare to me. There's no way I would expect a link on an image to take me to the Home Page. Seriously, I'd reverse that idea, no matter how many years it's been in place.

@Tedster,

Thanks for the response.

I hear what you are saying.

I also wanted to ask if you think that something like this could be impacting rankings in some way (e.g. keywords that the home page is trying to rank for, keywords that the page I am linking from are trying to rank for, some kind of overall effect)?
