I've seen some people put links to their site at the bottom of a client's site near the disclaimer/copyright...like "Site Designed by....(designer's name/compay)"...
What do you think? I know my inclination is to do this but then I see a lot of web professionals don't and I'm curious as to why...
Thanks!
I say.... just do it. Do what make you feel good. I'm doing it.... all my friends are doing it.... come on, do it! Do it!

I usually do it. I usually make sure it's out of the way though.

I've heard both sides, but I personally feel it's bad mojo.

It should be on your contract. You discuss with client before you put this on. It is advertising, so ideally you should offer a discount for advertising your services on someone else's website.

I'd agree with Budafist.
It is something I always discuss with a client first.
Only one has ever said I couldn't do it.

I agree with this too. We put a link on our "Basic" sites, which are a discounted price because they are smaller/brochure-like sites that follow a standard layout. Usually we word it like this: "To contact the Webmaster, click here: link" For the more advanced sites we discuss this with the client and normally leave it off.
