>>a section on each website which adds a link to all other unique websites

Just from reading that, what that sounds like is a "directory" or link section that's possibly there for the purpose of interlinking them. There better be plenty of links to and from independent, unconnected sites other than those - in fact mostly others or it could stick out like a sore thumb.

>>all other unique websites ( newspages, not content ).

That's one clue - is it content, what would read like original, unique content on each site, thematically different enough to warrant having different sites, or is it just news, which could be links to news sites or articles or just newsfeeds with some select outbound links - with keywords in the anchor text of those links for the purpose of ranking for them?

Get some sites done that way ranking nicely and there will be people churning out more of them daily to do likewise.

>>But I read something called PR0 <=> Bad ranking. So is this a good idea to link

If there's valid original content on each it's one thing, but if it's a site each about internet news, computer news, business news, fashion news, new books released, music industry news, etc. - and it's newsfeeds or just links to other sites with stories and there are few quality incoming links to the sites except the ones each other it, it could easily raise suspicions.

There are people who look at sites when surfing, something unusual catches their eye, and they go digging around - checking backlinks, looking at the code, the works.
