If someone finds the site to be horrible they are very unlikely to click the link back to you anyway, and if they do they will see your own site is much nicer and things can go from there. On the other hand beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or is it beer holder?) and what you see as horrible may be just what someone is looking for, and either way you get the "link juice" of the extra link. The only downside of someone who knows you seeing work you aren't totally proud of is well and truly outweighed by the benefits.

Money is a major part, but time in the game is invaluable. I won't ride the bandwagon over Andrew but humility + professionalism should add to customer education thus maximizing their experience with a REAL designer. Your know how + business practices should transcend any link + flow from the client, however those links help. I've gone to plenty of horrendous sites that link back to a designer's site that was marvelous. This was a useful perspective. Thanks. Good post.
