    If I have an affiliate link to a site do I also need to have a backlink or will the affiliate link do the same job?

    affiliate links usuallu have additional parameters, like affid=xxxx, thus it is not considered pure backlink

    A lot of people "affiliate" with other people which is the same thing as a backlink.

    If its a link to an affiliate program than no its not really a backlink.

    If it points into the same page search engines will index it as other page because index.php?aff=123 is different for se.

    But it will not be ranked high cause content is duplicated with your main index.php page. So, it will not be relevant backlink for your homepage.

    Keep in mind that the affiliate link is the same as a backlink to the affiliate site, but it's not a backlink to your site.
