I'm currently working on customizing my skin, and I'm moving/removing some of the links from the footer.

I'm a bit worried about removing or moving the "Archive" link to the Quick Links dropdown menu or simply placing it on the navbar, does this link need to be visible at all, is it safe to completely remove it or move it to a dropdown menu without messing with the search engine spiders?

Most people (including some of the SEO gurus) completely disable the archive as they find it to be useless.
