Linking to my other free sites = sponsor links?

[Sodo]

Dear link list owners,

I wanted to know if making links to my other free sites(a toplist kinda style listing of them) would be regarded as outgoing sponsor links if those sites where free sites already listed in your link directories? I want increase page rank and thought that this would be a nice way of doing it and at the same time get the surfer to other niches they could be interested in.

The traffic would be circled among my free sites but also in my mind increase traffic to your link lists as well due to the fact that your links are on all my sites....

Well the fact is I wanted to know before doing something that would prevent me getting listed!

Kind regards
Sodo is a bit today
