A link from your site with your affiliate code behind it doesn’t count since that is a link that only your site uses. Google ranks sites based on the exact URL that is in a link along with the anchor text to help define what the link means to Google
Unfortunatly, that is not true.
Some online casinos have changed the affiliate link syntax in order that it would also help them in the SEO game.
Take a look at the backlinks of:
link:http://www.intercasino.com/
link:http://www.888.com/
link:http://www.luckynugget.com/
link:http://www.32red.com/
All rank in google top ten for “online casino” thanks to our affiliate links.
I think it’s time to start using “no-follow” in the affiliate links.
