SE promoting affiliates dilemma

[XyZed]

Is this a proper dilemma or am I imagining it?

You have a successful site on widgets.
You find a company who doesn't do well in SE's who repair widget bits.
You enter into an affiliation with them.
You then plaster your site with appropriate affiliate links using the
keywords "repairs widget bits".

Is it possible for your promotion of them, as a highly successful site
for the term widgets, to so boost their SERP's that they could start
beating your own site for the term - and start getting the traffic
directly instead of through your links?

Apologies, I meant to post this in alt.internet.search-engines. If
anyone wants to answer it I'd appreciate it, otherwise I'll post it in
the proper place.
