Comment (by Anariel Design):

 It is interesting that not more shops reported drastic drop in traffic
 coming from this site even though everyone experience it.

 @coffee2code you are right that "Commercial" link wasn`t that prominent
 earlier either, but I think it is the logic of placement that plays bigger
 role then the size of a link and that was somewhat better.
 When visitor comes to the "Themes" page she/he decides in a blink of an
 eye which area is important for her/him. If all that is important is lined
 up on the left side in the bar, like it is now, then the rest is
 considered less or non important.

 These other factors that @coffee2code mentioned might play a minor role,
 but certainly not cause 80% drop.

 For now, after seeing it done in Plugin directory I`d also rather have
 that link added to the filter bar. Even though this might not be perfect,
 it is better then it is now.

 Cheers!
