That's not a very good idea. In the long run the SE's will probably detect it as a link network and discount those links and/or penalize the sites involved.

Proper link building is a long, arduous task. If you try to game the search engines you may in fact see some short term gains (12-18 months). But in the long run most of those sites usually pay the price.
