PR transfer

Should I link every page or will G get upset?

[JudgeJeffries]

I have a UK and a USA site selling a similar service but with major differences as the law is different in each country. I prefer to keep two distinct sites, makes life easier for me. The UK site has much higher PR than US site.
I want to pass some PR on to US site without reciprocal links to avoid any penalty. Is there advantage or danger in linking *every* page on the UK site (one way only) to the relevant (and on topic) page of the US site? Total of about 150 links.

Sounds abit risky linking every page to me, why dont you just link from your UK homepage to the US sites home page, that way you will transfer a fair bit of PR without getting into trouble.

If it's just two domains, then personally I wouldn't worry about overlinking (though many people would). More than three domains and I wouldn't be inclined even just to link the home pages.

If you have a bunch of sites and you put links to all the other www.domain.com in the footer of each site you will only evenly spread out your PR. Your low sites will get higher and you high sites will get lower. Since PR is not a whloe number you may not actually go down a whloe number for the higher number. Ther is no penality to doing this. I have never seen it done. There are just too many people doing it and there are too many real reasons for a company to do it. If there was a penality like a white or gray bar tons of sites would fall off of Google. The only penalty is watering down your PR. There may be a penality if you have a real elaberate spammy looking crosslinking site with each crosslink being different to try and manipulate PR.

I would think that no matter how 2 sites were linked, there would be no way of significantly manipulating PR, which is why Google frowns on crosslinking. If someone wants to play the link farm game, they'll need more than 2 sites.
