It all just depends.

Some places on my submit list require a clickable 2257 link. Some don't.

Its a heck of a lot easier for me to do one thing across the board, so I use a clickable link on every gallery. In my entire list, there are only 2 sites that sometimes get squicky and tell me I have too many links.

~shrugs~ I don't worry about it, as they don't send me any traffic to speak of anyhow.

I look at it this way. If what I'm doing is good enough for the big sites (both LL and TGP), then I am not going to sweat the odd site who may count my 2257 as an additional link.

I think overall that most site owners are more than happy to have submitters who are trying to comply.
