How is it a risk? Google rewards pages with inbound links from sites with high PR. How a page gets them shouldn't matter. If it does matter, how and why would it matter? If it did matter the word would get out and everyone would be asking for link trades via e-mail. It may be my ignorance but I can't see why Google would ever care how link trades are made.

(Anyone know where I can find Matt Cutts so I can buy him a few drinks and pick his brain?)
