    What you would do is turn non-keyword links into images so that search engines do not pic them up as a irrelivant keyword.


    I was wondering if this was a practice by any webmasters?

    Many webmasters do like this. Another option is to put the text in javascript or flash, etc.

    Why would you do such a thing? For your link exchange partners? Then you'll make them angry, they will want to have their keywords in the anchor of a text link... otherwise, why include links that are not relevant to your site's topic?

    i mean for links like maybe 'Home' or 'Terms of Use' or 'Links' ..

    .. links that really are unrelated to the main topic/keyword of the page.

    That seems like a lot of work for not much benefit. Also, consider that some people search (ctrl-F) the web page for text, and they won't be able to find the text if it's embedded in an image.
