    Hi,

    I have a few sites where I have a .com and .co.uk one. Is it a good idea or a bad idea or will it just be alright to put your sites url and it's url anchor text in your author resource box for both of the sites.

    So, for example.

    I put <a href="http://domainname.com">DomainName.com - Play free online games</a> and <a href="http://domainname.co.uk">DomainName.co.uk - Free Online Games</a> both in the authors resource box and don't put it anywhere else in the article.

    Would this be alright and help improve the PR and link popularity on both of the sites or could it be a negative as they are different sites hosted on the same server.

    Hope you understand what I mean.

    It depends on what your sites do. Are they the same site? Do they point at the same place? Ideally you should choose one site and 301 redirect the other site to it.

    Both the .co.uk and .com sites are interlinked in that I have on the home page something like: Our other Internation site: domainname.com on the .co.uk site and via versa.

    Also on parts of the .co.uk site I have similar content, but only have a little bit of the content that is on the .com site so I then have on the .co.uk site something like: "to play more games please go domainname.com, which is our larger worldwide site.

    So as you can see I am interlinking, but not for the search engines, but my visitors to know that I also offer more games on my other site.

    So, would it be best to just include one url in the article then or what about including 2 links, but from different parts of the same site that is on different sub domains. Would that be alright?
