Yes, Every mod has it's own branding fee.
Interesting.
I no longer allow branding on my forum with the exception of VB/VBSEO...
It was getting to the point that the bottom of my home page was getting
very tacky, and unprofessional, and if you are a forum owner then you
would understand that, so I have removed all mods. I feel if I pay anyone
for a mod, then I do not owe you anything more IE: backlink...
Some mod sellers even require a backlink even after your purchase their mod,
so not only do they expect you too buy, they expect a free ride (backlink) for life as
long as you are using their product, its why I do buy from them.
So if your paid mods do not come with branding/backlinks then
I will be more then happy to purchase. if not, no worries.
I think it is ok for a modder to ask for a backlink for a free/demo
mod, i see no problem with that. The problem i see is that some
want to go past that, and still expect a backlink after purchase, and
I just simply do not agree with it.
Some want it both ways...Free=backlink and paid=backlink
