Content Issue
Say Big Company A, sent you an article, which was informational, but also promoted Big Company A. Say, this article actually outranked their own website (whoops! ) and they emailed you to remove the article because traffic was coming to your tiny little blog instead of their corporate website.

What would you do?

Remove the article?
Leave it up?

Ok, from the way I understood that, they sent you the article to begien with. Is that right? If so, they should have been smart enough to put a link in it. But either way, it's promoting their site.

Well there is a link in the content, but looking at the stats very few people are clicking on it.

Just need peoples general opinion - leave it or dump it

I will remove it as you said not many people are clicking on it. Why bother with an article whose owner is saying not happy to be on your site? I will just remove it straight away. No headache.
