Cross-linking foreign language versions of site on same IP address

Hi everybody,

i seek advice for a google cross-linking issue.

I have several websites in different languages:

example.com in english
example.de in german
example.es in spanish
etc.

on each page of each website i am cross-linking <these sites> in the footer.

all my websites run from the same IP address.

i am afraid of getting penalized for this cross-linking.

Do you think that assigning different IP addresses for each website will avoid a google penalty?

many thanks for your kind advice.

Hello heringslake, and welcome to the forums.

The important factor for ranking will be how many other natural backlinks each of these domains attracts. Crosslinking to different language versions is a natural thing to do for your users, and should not bring problems or penalties, but without a healthy backlink profile all around it also will not help ranking very much.
