When google penalise for links between own sites?

[alinpion]

Hello!

If I have 80 links from one of my site's to another site of my own it is posible to get penalised ? Does google consider this as spam?

The links are not in page; they are on the sidebar (in my link widget I've add another of my sites which are in the same niche).

Anytime I build a new site, I go to my old 700 page site & stick a backlink to my new site in the old sites footer to get it indexed.

I've never had a problem, been doing this for a few years.

I dont think it will consider as spam by google. So you should do not worry about it.

I don't think so,most of webmaster add a link to their new sites in old sites to get faster indexed.

Haven't tried this one but as per my former colleagues it didn't do any harm to those sites being linked.

I am going to go against what all of the others are saying here. Everything that I have ever read and researched about this says otherwise. It is not a good idea to link to your own websites that are under the same IP / registered to the same person UNLESS you use the NOFOLLOW attribute on the links.

This is easy for them to detect and will be viewed as an attempt to cheat the system if you do not use NoFollow.

Now I have read some people saying that they get away with this and do remember people implying that an odd link here and there might be ok, but I would not want to chance it. The only interlinking of your own websites you should be doing is with the rel=nofollow in my opinion.

I would like to hear more from those who have been interlinking websites without the nofollow attribute though.

Stop reading so much & start doing your own testing with your own sites.

LOL!!! Oldest and best trick in book!

Why this is such a secret is beyond me.

I mean come on, everybody from google, yahoo, ebay,
amazon, gasbuddy, zap2it, go.com, wikipedia...I mean
everybody readily does this. Why not? Those links are
guaranteed to be "forever," instant, and high PR.

Relevance is another thing. Yes, relevance matters, but
there is no problem linking up. And that's what I'm talking
about, linking up, getting a little juice flowing.

Remember, each subdomain is also looked upon as a separate
domain. So, if the bad logic holds, nobody would ever do
anything like a subdomain and link that up either. But
that's crazy logic. Look at about.com. Like, um, they get
penalized?!?!

I've said it before. If you want to play and compete with the
big boys, then ACT LIKE THEM!

I don't think it's considered spams, otherwise those themes developers will get their sites penalty long ago =)

Oh my. Yukon is right. That guy must have read too much fairytale books. It's already a proven and tested strategy most people. If you have a network of websites, it is very ethical that you interlink these websites by having their links embedded in every site's footer. It is a natural backlinking strategy.
