Footer Putter allows you to put a footer to your site that adds credibility to your site, with BOTH visitors and search engines.

Google is looking for some indicators that the site is about a real business.

  1. The name of the business or site owner
  2. A copyright notice that is up to date
  3. A telephone number
  4. A postal address
  5. Links to Privacy Policy and Terms of Use pages

Human visitors may pay some credence to this information but will likely be more motivated by trade marks, trust marks and service marks.

Image File Size

The plugin uses each trademark image "as is" so you need to provide trademark images that are suitably sized.

For a consistent layout make sure all images are the same height. A typical height will be of the order of 50px to 100px depending on how prominently you want them to feature.
