I think if only you use different anchor texts in your links they would be considered unique ones. :)

Have a nice day,

I know a unique links means ... a link from a different domain so 4 links from daniweb means only 1 unique link.

Your website may be considered as link spam if you apply too much unique external links. So please be careful before applying the unique external links.
