Small Site, linking to every page on every page?

Stupid or OK for Google?

Hi all,

Quick question here. I have very small, but commercial site, all of 16 pages for now. Is it bad to have text links at the bottom of every page that point to about 10 of the other internal pages? All pages are root level. I really need to do it this way, as my main theme is pretty much the same throughout the site (for now), but I don't want to get myself in trouble with Google, or hurt my PR when I get it. :)

Thanks again guys!

I do it on sites like this and have found no penalty nor do I expect one in the future.
Also it helps towards getting spidered early once they find the site.

Some people like to create "periphery" pages on small sites to have pages that contain the keywords they want to target.

Others like to prevent spiders from indexing certain pages like "contact us" pages because they contain no real information of importance to the average searcher.

I'm not sure if Pagerank is passed on for "noindex" or "nofollow" robots tags for pages you might not want indexed.....but IMHO it makes sense to keep some pages out the index that will have little or no relevance to your audience.

No problem at all with that.
