widgets

I made a widget that would ideally live on other sites. Here is an example: http://www.comehike.com/outdoors/widget.php?type=hike&hike_id=108&width=500&height=500

I guess since the widget would link back to me, it would be an SEO boost for my site. Is that correct? Or would it be just an SEO boost for that particular URL?

If it is just an SEO boost for the particular URL, it does me little good since that page does not link to any of my other pages.

Am I thinking about this correctly? How are these things typically handled so that there is a benefit to my site's SEO?
