Site A - Details about 8 products from category X
Site B - Details about 9th product from same category X
Site C - Directory of category X products (my products as well as competitor's prods).
All these 3 are hosted in different servers and separate class C network.
At present all these 3 are crosslinked from every page. also from C every page is linked to a.com/prod1/ and a.com/prod2/. Will it create problem? Site C is in a VPS and it also contains following sites.
Site D - Directory of products from Category X and many other categories.
Site E - A regional portal specific for a particular state.
Site F - Another regional portal for another state in my area.
Since it is a VPS, C D E and F share same IP. so can i interlink each other. Can i link to A from D and E? (contents of D and E are totally different from others)
All these sites contains atleast 4-5 subdomains like forums, blogs, photo galleries etc. So I am totally confused about interlinking all these sites. At present ABC are linked from every pages of D and ABC are linked from index page of E and F. Also in E and F all subdomains are interlinked.
For me A is most important, then B and C. Anybody can give a better way to link all these sites?
If every page interlinks, then the topics are clearly so close as to not need a separate site; you are multiplying your marketing effort, and dividing your ranking among a multitude of domains.
Plus you have built a link network that will probably get you banned from Google as soon as a rival reports your efforts.
Plus you almost certainly have some content duplication in the labrynthine structure, that is already hurting you.
Go for simple - Google loves simple.

Thank you for the help. As you said i removed all interlinks and slowly merging sub domains to main domains. But I cannot remove or redirect the main domains because all have unique themes and have separate link exchange schemes and pr5.
