The thing that seems odd to me is, why would I want to link to them without my affiliate tag? That doesn’t make any sense at all.
On the other hand, if I am an affiliate, and am linking to them, then they should link back to me anyway because if my site does better it helps them.
Uhm, SEO?
Ask yourself if you want links from on topic domains, some over 5 years old.
This has been going on for years, nothing new.
I really don’t think you’ll leak too many players from an obscure link somewhere in the bowels of your site…
The same applies to them….they will link to you in turn…
