They are partner sites and I want to provide a link to the other two from each, on all the pages.
Since Google considers this as cross linking, I used the Javascript linking method. But now I hear that Google follows Javascript and I presume that it will consider this as an artificial pagerank boost method, which it is not as can be concluded because I originally used the Javascript method to facilitate the movement of my surfers to my other partner sites.
Now what am I supposed to do? How do I provide the link to my partner sites without agitating Google ;)

...there are some solutions in there.
And no, you will not get automatically banned for serving google the exact same page minus 3 links.
in a similar way, it is common in porn industry to serve different pages to people who come to your site from search engines. you never get caught. it's impossible, unless someone specifically writes to google and tells them you are doing that. now even if they receive this letter what are the chances of them actually going to your site to check it? :)
and if you serve google bot a different page - that's even less risky!
and as far as cheating goes, here's an idea:
1. write a simple redirection script that sends regular visitors to your site and google - to another script.
2. when google reaches that "another" script, the script starts to feed the bot with lots of pages (generated on the fly) that relate to the content of your site. this should get your site a higher ranking.
3. when people come to your site from a search engine, redirect them to your main page.
i think, this idea is not new. and it is risky too. for this you would definitely get punished.
