Hi Pete,

I think to an established site these links would not cause a problem (although they might not give much benefit, either).

However with Google nowadays, I would think this sort of link structure might get you 'sandboxed' - it seems any 'unnatural' link structure gets you sandboxed.

I would suggest getting some backlinks from unique IPs (maybe from some directories, and backlinks from press releases), let them be awhile, and then implement these links. "For some odd reason" new sites' backlink structures are just touchy in Google.
