I notice that many website developers have their own website link branded on each page of a customers website. Does this mean thst for each website they create for a customer that has say 50 pages, they will receive 50 links in?
Or do they run the risk of search engines penalising them for have too many links in from one site?
I ask this because I have several sites and was wondering if one site would benefit from more links in on each page of the sister sites ie 3 sites x 50 pages = 150 links in.
Or could this be seen as some type of link farm with penalties?
Any experience on how this has changed a sites rankings is much appreciated.

There is no reason why such links should lead to a penalty, though there's no certainty that links to a site with unrelated content will count for much.
Also, search engines are highly sophisticated; if (for example) Google sees a link as a 'recommendation', there's no reason why they should see 50,000 foot-of-page links from one site as any more valuable than one related link in one article on one page of another site. They certainly will not give 50,000 times the credit, and may give no credit at all.
Indeed, those who believe in the tooth fairy and the site-wide link may well suffer under the 'Curse of the Paidlink' - who on Earth recommends a site so highly that he places a link, for free, on every page of his site? Google may well conclude 'either an idiot, or someone receiving benefit for so doing'.
There's no way, in a million years, I'd place a site-wide developer's link on a site of mine (or ask anyone to site-wide-link to me). I wouldn't do it for free because I'm not stupid, and I wouldn't do it for payment because, er, I'm not stupid.

Appreciate the overview.
I have seen one company benefit tremendously from basically sponsoring (advertising) through a 100 page website (which was industry related to their own products), and due to the strength of the site that they advertised on, it pretty much shot their own rankings right up. However, I wasn't sure whether these were quickl fixes before google brought them back down to earth again.
