Signing your work
hmm. I have seen this cloud from both sides now..
I personally have paid a designer for a "site" and not wanted any clue who did it because I wanted exclusivity of "brain". Sometimes when a designer makes the first of site (first type, first one in an industry" the cleint educates the designer a lot. So the client is expecting a one off, exclusive site (including mind). A tag may lead a competitor to the same designer who now can make a new site, even better and hotter using all the info gained during the first site construction.
I would think of this like a permanent "Realestate" sign on your house after it's been sold (This house was sold by BOB. Visit BOB when you want to buy a house 555-1212).
This is where your portfolio online shows that you made it then all gloves are off *unless the client doesn't want it in your prortfolio*.
IMHO
