I would only consider doing this for affiliates who are already sending us real money players, or sites that are known to have good quality traffic. We do NOT want to become a “link farm.”
My idea was to link back to a FEW good sites, not everybody who comes along. I’m looking for a win-win situation, where we get more players and we help our affiliates get higher SE ranking, and therefore more traffic.
My real question is, will this really make much difference to the sites that we link to? Will they get a big boost in SE ranking, or not much at all?
If not, it’s probably not worth the risk to us getting knocked down for linking “violations” if Google doesn’t like the sites we are linking to for some reason.
