links with my pages

[Skylo]

If my main site is say www.widgets.com and i have another site by the name of www.blue-widgets.com would i be penalised for having reciporical links between them. And would i be able to have links pointing towards "blue-widgets"? I am new to this and to tell the truth I am bloody scared to do anything without advise from the expeienced on this site. Thanks everybody for being so informative thus far

hi Skylo, welcome to webmasterworld [webmasterworld.com].

don't be scared. linking two sites to each other, won't penalize them.

Thanks Hakre, But I am still a bit vague on the subject. I know what those forums were all about but just to make sure can you verify. So if siteA.com Crosslinks with with siteB-siteA.com? Thanks mate
