About the linking.. I'm not sure having a link on a CS page would be a good idea. It would basically be an advertisment, so the right audience has to recieve it. We all hear the words "CS is way better", "why don't you play CS", etc on a daily basis. A link would probably get a bunch (several hundred thousand) of 12 year old CSers spamming counter-strike.net with emails about how ricochet is undeserving of webspace, asking why that link is there (with questions composed of "F*** YOU!!!11!1" and the like) if you catch my drift.
It's still worth a shot, but don't count on counter-quake heads and bullet-lovers suddenly changing their minds about what a good game is, just like we don't when somebody makes the astute observation that ricochet, contrary to popular belief, is in fact NOT counter-strike, and heroicly informs everybody else to save them from the clutches of satan.

I'm for the idea, just make sure counter-strike.net isn't the only site.
