Linking between websites Confusion?

I have two websites A and B

Website A has 6000 pages and has good PR.

Website B has 8 imp pages.

Can I link those 8 pages in websites B from all the pages of websites A(Footer links). Will this be spam. The two websites are similar in subject.

Website B will not link back to website A. Just one way links.

what i suggest is you can put 8-10 back links from B-A thats where you find hight pr

This will surely look as a spam. It will seem as massive backlinking from a same ip/domain .

Never do that. Instead give a backlink from a on a certain important page to b.

I always believe in the fact that only one backlink from one domain is enough and other go in vein …

Search engines are smart enough to recognize a ‘boilerplate’ link from a single instance, or a mass back-linking exercise.

There is no harm in linking from every page in your footer - just don’t expect it to count as much as a single editorial link from the home page with relevant surrounding text.

If you’re worried about the volume of links why not just add the links to a certain set of pages, such as top level sections, or pages that have a direct relationship?

Will the links be useful for your visitors? If they are there’s no harm in linking from one site to the other.

Yes you can. But make sure that you are giving in the name of - other similar sites or suggested sites. If both sites are in same niche means, it will help to increase the PR for website B; if not, it wont increase the PR much.

At the same time, Google is so concerned about paid links. So giving footer link to website B in all 6000 pages of website A is not a good move, in my personal opinion

@felgall, you misunderstood me …
i am not saying to put the links to unimportant places, but backlinking effects more when …
links spread over several domains exists …

If for example , you have 2-3 links at reddit, 2-3 links at digg, 2-3 links at mixx ,

Its much better than 1000 reddit links only …

That isn’t true - not everyone who visits a site will necessarily visit the page with the link on it.

It is far more important to provide links that are useful to real people. Those are the ones that the search engines will find useful too.

Link will be beneficial. But I am worried that each of those 8 pages will receive 6000 links each from a same domain. Will this be considered as spam by google.

this is a fine line. I like to visit iwhois.com to see if they are registered to the same owner. I have seen 2 sites get kicked off of google for getting links from multiple sites from the same owner.

I would suggest you to link some important and having good PR pages with site B and get see the result after some time you can try more pages to be linked.
