Ok to exchange links with seemingly related websites?

Same Template, Different Content

[gomzy]

I came across a couple of travel and hotel sites who have got two identical pages design everything related but different content,url and title.

Is there any harm do a link exchange with them.

The question you have to ask yourself is:

Do I think there is a problem here?

...the fact that you are checking suggests that you think there is a problem.

In that case - avoid and concentrate on those endevours where you don't need to question the legitimacy of your actions.

That is the safe way to SEO greatness.

swap, the google police are not going to look at that.

Then they are *not* identical. They are using the same template. If they are two seperate sites, and both are "above board" then I wouldn't see an issue. It isn't any different than exchanging with two sites who look different so you don't "know" they are done by the same people.
