Yes, this is indeed a trick some webmasters are using.
Thats why I would recommend to only exchange links with websites that have good Google rankings for gambling related terms.
This is really good advice and something I think a lot of newbies fail to understand. You get far more weight with google from a link on a directly related page going after similar keywords and I wish I understood this earlier in the game.
Edit: Actually let me clarify, I didn’t mean to insinuate that new webmasters don’t know the obvious benefit of getting gambling related links. Only to take it a step further. For example if your going after “poker bonus codes” and have a choice between 1 webpage going after online poker that has 1K incoming links, then another webpage going after poker bonus codes with only 500 incoming links, I choose the second option.
