It's probably quite a complex thing to express mathematically, but if it
was known, it would have probably been misused. Think of scenarios where
a small collection of people link from hundreds of pages to their frien-
ds and get the same thing in return. Think of blogrolls and do a backli-
nks search on some popular blogs or software that benefits from footers,
albeit in the latter case, many _unique_ sites (thousands) can be invol-
ved. Some of the high-ranked bloggers are those who distributed tools or
plug-ins where they bothered to have a URL footer for SEO purposes.
