affiliate schemes a good way of link building?

hi all,

I was just wondering if this is an effective method of link building, as I recently signed up to an affiliate scheme at Contraccounts, and they provide you with a link, and suggest you post the links around forums etc...
I was thinking that the contraccounts' affiliates will effectively be link building, now is this is good method to get inbound links? or is there a catch? as I was thinking of creating an affiliate scheme for my site, it may be worth looking into

Affiliate marketing both good as well as an adverse effect on your web site SEO. It can be a struggle for you to stand on top for keywords such as brand affiliates to participate in the program, there may be a better view than you. On the contrary, due to the increased presence of you for these companies may get a list of the best ranking on Google pages to search for keywords and wide. Hence, the indirect vision routed through affiliated sites can greatly increase, where as at the same time it can be difficult for you to stick to your brand floor level SEO.

so for example thesitename.com?a=AFFILIATEHERE would not be search engine friendly? or create an inbound link? what would be the best way around this?
thanks for the help guys I hope im not being too much of a pain!!

Those kind of links will be counted as a back-link for a period of time. The problem is that they are still classed as a paid link so will be discounted over time.
The fact that they contain the word affiliate would probably mean they get filtered out fairly quickly. So it's a link building strategy built on sand.
