Excessive Crosslinking?

Ok... new to SEO and all that jazz. I've been reading up more and more on it all and have discovered something called 'excessive crosslinking' and that it is a no-no.

I've got one main site (http://www.travoholic.com), another site I'm working on (http://www.stuckinlondon.com) that is actually hosted on Travoholic.com but will be moved to it's own account soonish, and one that I have a domain name for that will be launched soon (http://www.workingholidayinfo.com).

Since all of these sites are related and are all mine, I've got links at the bottom of every single page of Travoholic.com to the other two pages to make it easy for my visitors to hop between them. From what I'm reading at the moment, this is a big no-no.

Can anyone verify if it really is that bad? I have gone recently from good Google results for many pages of Travoholic.com to no man's land and was wondering if this might be the cause?

Thanks,
Kirsty

 

try to host different sites on different host with different ip address. Try not to have the same set of links at the bottom of the page for each sites.

 

^^ You still don't know if yu will be banned.. google change search algorithms every now and then.

 

Try different datacenters

 

First link is not written correctly, the second link works and I like the site - it is new and creative.
